Just droped my car off at VF-Engineering for SC kit

I dropped off my 997, yesterday morning to vf. I received a sponsorship and I will be having their SC kit installed. I think that the best place, for the install would be from the manufacturer. They know everything about their product. When I came in I met with Nik. Very nice Guy. He showed me their SC kits and gave me a tour of the facility. Very nice shop. They have a lot of projects going on. The place was full of cars that were being worked on. Vf will be using my car to do an update to their supercharger system. They're increasing the boost to make more power. I was told that 6.0 psi from the original supercharger, was not even pushing the engine. Can't wait to drive it. This will be the new and improved version. They said they would need about 3 weeks to do the install and tuning and testing. One thing that was stopping me from the install, was the Sc kit not being carb legal. Nik told me that they're working on the certification from the arb and that in about 2 months they would need to borrow my car for the testing process. The kit will pass a smog test but not the visual yet. I'm hoping they could get 500 hp. As soon as I get any updates I'll post.

That's great to hear! VF is such an amazing company and now that they are doing the SC's in house I am sure the results will be incredible.
Try and post a detailed write up with pics of the install!

Vf's installing a new pulley on the supercharger, to raise the boost by 1psi. I'll post more updates as soon as I get any.

Any update on the SC installation? I have a 2005 997S Cab, and am considering adding a supercharger. I had my eye on a RUF install, but I've been told to spend some time on this forum, read and ask for advice.
So, if you have any feedback, I'd sure appreciate it. Feel free to PM me.
Thanks and regards
