G'Day Welcome..

congrats on the purchase. We don't chip these cars, we use an edit which reprograms the ecu.

If supercharging, i wouldn't worry about CAI mods.. However

You will need to change oil pump gears to supercharge safely.. If you are going to forfeit the warranty, do it properly and spare yourself a rebuild..

Superchargers, the cheap nasty crapa side bolt on jobs aren't the go anymore... The boss now has some more mature highier HP units. Twin Screw Whipple, 2.3 Litre, capable of 750 HP, or 30 psi....

Hi Charlie;

Welcome aboard the Boss Journey, and the forums.
At present we have five supercharged cars in our club. Two FPV Boss Motors, one BOSS XR8, one Tickford T3, and one Tickford Pursuit. One of the club members owns a business and a fair amount of his time is taken up by the fitting and tuning superchargers. So there is a bit of knowledge / experience on these within our club.

Better still drop me a pm, or attend the next club meeting

13th February
Power Ford
Victoria Ave Castle Hill
8pm Start

Regards
Paul
