Chris - any website or No. for Sevenvalley Motorsport? Cheers

Vibrio - do think that is why it has be discontinued? would would waiting for the supercharger be the better option in that case? not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this sort of thing. Cheers

My question is have any of you peeps had experiance with this company i.e. quality of workmanship, customer service etc.. just thought I'd do a little bit of research before I took the idea any further



would not bother. that conversion uses crapy old oil cooled turbos. GTF with oil cooled turbos

Dont get turbo lag on a super charger. More expensive tho...

Cheers Adam think I might drop them a line, supercharger sounds nice.

What are the benefits of a supercharger opposed to a Turbo

Think the black one was putting out something silly like 279 bhp -

I've been past their place in Uxbridge ages ago (Power Engineering). It looks like a little workshop kind of place! :lol:

That conversion costs £2k !! and apparently theyve dropped it to work on a supercharger kit.

Saw a couple of supercharged and nitroused Focus's at fiesta in the park this year by this company -
