IIRC, the mysterious dissapearing company used a rimmer supercharger to
make its kit.  Supposedly they took out the intake manifold and stuck
the supercharger there, which begs the question 'what did they do with
the power steering pump.'  Would have been interesting to see, though
for all of the trouble it appears to involve, I like the biturbo 12v
idea better.
