Supercharging / turbocharging and tip boxes

[ukmastiff]

Does anyone know if the Tip box is strong enough to cope with a Supercharger conversion and has it been done. I'm aware that manuals have successfully been done. I am genuinely looking for something unusual.

Having recently had two Turb 944's I have a strong desire to do something a little more unusual than another tuned turbo etc and I am a 968 fan to say the least.

Cheers

Mas

I run one of 9Ms supercharged 968 cars with a manual box - I'd suggest you speak to Marc Clowse or Colin Belton at 9M to see if they've done any tips, and if they haven't if they think it prudent / viable.

Good luck Mas and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Fraser.

There's also a chap called Chris Morgan-Edwards on 'another forum'(name of other forum has been restricted) that has done his own install, after a few testing moments he seems to have ironed out all the issues. Might be worth contacting him as well for info.

Thanks for ther info guys , I still dont know if im going to even do this , its just something im seriously considering.

Are you saying that there is a forum which we are not allowed to mention here. If there is then perhaps someone could let me know what one it is. It seems a very weird rule ? but one I am likely to inadvertantly break, since I love forums

Cheers

As far as I know there's no ban on mentioning any forum, just not "promoting" your own forum over ours, or someone advertising their own forum if it's for commercial gain. Stuart runs 968uk, that might be where he means, where most of the 968 chaps hang out. I've said it, so no accusations of self-promotion there! []

I'm buying a 968 on Friday. I know nothing about the possibility of supercharging a Tip'. Mine will be a manual. But, I imagine that something long the lines of what was said above, which could be 968uk followed by dot com could be what was inferred. I only joined it 2 days ago so also can't be accused or promoting something (esp as I can't yet vouch for its contents).
