Official Harrop TVS1740 Supercharger Thread

BPMSport · 03-24-2021, 03:12 PM

It is with regret that we inform you that Harrop AU is ending production on these kits. We have one new kit that is available for purchase, and a one gently used kit that should be available in the next month or so. Thanks to everyone that purchased and continues to enjoy this kit! I know I will never get tired of mine!

Edit: New kit sold. Seeing what I can do about more.

tsk94 · 03-24-2021, 03:21 PM

That's disappointing to hear

Fastalpine · 03-24-2021, 03:28 PM

That is sad news. Really glad I have mine, I will forever love this kit on this car!

DRLane · 03-24-2021, 03:43 PM

Yeah what a bummer! Someone should jump on the remaining kit.

BPMSport · 03-24-2021, 04:00 PM

Some have inquired about replacement parts and support - rest assured this will continue to be available.

drwankel · 03-24-2021, 06:09 PM

I am glad I got mine when I did! Love the kit. It's just going to be that much rarer and special as the years go by. Glad Harrop will have parts and support available.

MPACT · 03-24-2021, 09:17 PM

Wow, that was super sudden. I had this on my radar for later this year. Sounds like the market lost one the best options.

I am quite surprised and frustrated. We have done so much to promote this kit and it's been nothing short of the best option.

I am going to see what I can do.. will try to see if Harrop would be willing to make a final batch of a few kits and we will just hold them here.

That would be fantastic and they hopefully will recognize the brand positive work you and this kit has had for them here in the US. Keep me in the loop. I just threw down a huge tax bill or I would pop instantly on your last kit so really hoping you can get another one coming.

DukeofAlexandria · 03-25-2021, 08:13 AM

Hey Mike! We've talked before about obtaining a kit and I wasn't sure to pull the trigger last year or this year after my wedding.

I will 100% put a down payment on one (4K+) if the option to purchase a new kit came around for later this year and then we can settle up the rest of the money.

This is a kit I've been wanting for sometime and it's very unfortunate to find out this is happening. Do your best to find out and if one 'final' batch of kits could be made, thanks!

-Duke

Ajolives · 03-25-2021, 08:37 AM

Damn, I guess this makes my decision a little easier when it comes time....

BPMSport · 03-25-2021, 12:05 PM

Just spoke with them.

For those that are seriously interested in the kit, shoot me a call or text. I will do my best to coordinate a final production run of 5 or so kits as to not shatter any M3 dreams.. I know I would be pretty sad myself if I was looking forward to getting this kit and then wasn't able to. This kit is a game changer. Will do my best to sort something out for everyone on an individual basis

pbonsalb · 03-26-2021, 08:03 AM

Or buy the molds and rights so you could produce? Its a small market, but you know it well.

slidewayscoupe · 03-26-2021, 11:12 AM

If you're on the fence about getting this kit, jump! Jump right in and don't look back - it's an absolute riot.

This unique piece combined with the support of Mike at BPM, you will not go wrong!

MPACT · 03-26-2021, 04:14 PM

Pm sent Mike.

SilverSlug · 03-27-2021, 05:23 PM

Any word on why Harrop is discontinuing this kit??

drwankel · 03-28-2021, 12:37 AM

That's the confusing bit. Before I bought my kit last year, I e-mailed them asking how long they planned to be making the kit. They responded they had no plans to stop production due to high demand for the kit, and only saw demand increasing as the cars age and more people are willing to mod them.

Their response made sense. That was a little under a year ago. They did mention that when they eventually stopped manufacturing the kit, they would offer parts and support for years to come.

Not sure why the sudden change in direction. Still glad to know there is a parts and support commitment from harrop.

I guess the value of my car just went up?

drwankel · 03-29-2021, 01:52 PM

Well- I think I have found the answer here. It's the impending EPA clampdown on performance parts. I sent an e-mail to harrop trying to get clarification about the situation. The short story is the kit is NOT ending production, but they are PAUSING sales in the US market.

"Thanks for the feedback on your supercharger kit I’m glad to hear you are still enjoying it and plan on doing so for many years to come. Due to current regulations in the emissions space in the USA we are pausing sales on new kits and evaluating emission requirements. This kit will still be sold to the rest of the world and parts will continue to be available and can be sourced directly from Harrop USA. Please let me know if I can help assist you with any thing further. "

If you want to keep being able to purchase performance parts- I'd highly encourage you to sign this. There entire performance market is at risk right now. Link below to send mail to your senators and representatives:

BPMSport · 03-30-2021, 02:10 AM

Had a very constructive conference call with Harrop today. Working out the logistics but I think that we'll be able to secure some final kits for those interested. Working on getting a final batch of 5-10 kits to hold here.

The situation was mainly prompted by emissions compliance issues. Unfortunately it's not financially feasible to go through the CARB certification process on a lower volume kit. I will get back to everyone that PMed or emailed to secure a kit tomorrow and we'll get the ball rolling.

We will continue to see if there is another method or angle for future supply in the US.

DRLane · 03-30-2021, 09:25 AM

No one is coming for your super charger. Buy one at ease.
