anyone know if it works, cos it looks rather compact, thus easy to fit.

its a centrifugal (sp) charger mate used on race cars to keep weight and size down

rotrex S/C's are the inlet side from cummings and mated to a gearbox. VERY good chargers, dont add as much heat as a hEaton, but you dont get as much boost.... swings and roundabouts.

Full setup like that "should" be around a grand

These are great for compact bays like in a nova

Theoretically you can run a centrifugal S/C without any form of DV too...

I have personally used these on our Formula Student single seater on a Honda Cbr engine, they are a very good piece if kit and so far perfomed well.
