Cosworth Supercharger - Unadvertising.

This is the funniest product. I thought advertising was to sell and promote a product, not put people off. Install it for over $6000 by the time you include other required products. But don't use it on the road, use it only on the track, But don't drive hard. It will cause engine damage.

All these disclaimers have come about due to a series of engine failures.

level.

engine damage."Russ

driven by shifting the transmission below 6500 RPMs.

the engine."Russ
