Went looking through jamsport the other day and seen their supercharger kit stage 2.5 for £3995 and notice rotrex is way cheaper £1704 whats the difference between them both. Want to go for the rotrex one ( because its cheaper ) but what do you guys think

What do you mean?
The jamsport kit is for everything pipes intercooler brackets etc and is a rotrex supercharger?!

The £1704 is just for the charger itself and the oil pipes and oil cooler!

Youre best bet is trying to source a second hand kit imo.

Sell then buy focus ST? Saves faffing about and having to have your SC rebuilt every 5k miles.

A fair bit, yeah. The 185 has an air intake system, full exhaust and upgraded camshafts which gives much better pull higher up the rev range. Although the name is 185, Chrisjs84 made 193bhp on a rolling road. Don't forget you'd need all this BEFORE a supercharger anyway - plus an air intake manifold.

There's always Mountune 200...
