My buddies car who I heard this kit on originally is a 2008 dct and he hasn't had any problems yet so I guess it's really luck of the draw? I believe my car peaks at 8 psi and so far so good

Congrats man !

There is no issues with the 2008 bearings based on my 2008 motor that i tore down after 50000 miles.

This is good to hear and puts me at ease. It's the one thing that has been stopping me from getting a blower as I really don't want anyone tearing the bottom end apart to replace the bearings.

OP: enjoy the new found power, I hope to join the boosted club soon. Post some pics!!

Gonna try to get pics up ASAP and dig out the dyno.

Congrats! Does the Gintani kit come standard with a BOV rather than a bypass valve?

THE-FN-MAN · 08-13-2012, 02:15 PM

Thanks again fellas and yes, I do believe the blow off valve is standard. I'll try to upload pics tonight

THE-FN-MAN · 08-13-2012, 09:54 PM

heres some pic fellas

the red one is mine (both with the stock rims and my apex) and the black one is my buddies who orginally got me hooked! please excuse the carbon intake on my red one, it was a proto type of a new design they are perfecting, hence the different weaves

THE-FN-MAN · 08-14-2012, 10:48 PM

Found the dyno guys. It made 512 at the tires on a dyno dynamics

m33 · 08-15-2012, 01:04 AM

THE-FN-MAN · 08-15-2012, 01:11 AM

Good Review! im really considering about pulling the trigger on this supercharger now. Has it been running good with no problems since you installed it ?
