arpad_m: Great question...If I was in the states, I'd go Whipple. But until I make that move again, I felt more comfortable with a Chevy part. I've got a German inspection to go thru (outwardly modified cars can be impounded on the street), ultra reliability concern (OEM parts are best), and a lower HP target which the LT4 part will satisfy at a near $3000 savings.
Just getting the part here was an adventure - using a Kong Performance LT4 box allowed a slightly disassemble blower unit to ship via USPS for $75. The remainder of the ancillaries, also cost $75 to ship. Should mention a few items (adapter plates, blower top, cooling bricks, and TB) made the trip in my Delta checked bag!
A larger/heavier unit might not have been able to come USPS...friend bought an E-Force...added $800 for shipping/customs thru DHL.
Tuning will be done remote from the US.
Pretty incredible times we can add a few parts and make 650+ CHP...
Of course, this could all be for naught after the first pull on the autobahn when the rings butt or a cast piston melts...
