Are you trying to tell us something??
I just thought people here might be interested. The power gains look pretty good.
Looks very promising, and I appreciate the amount of research they are putting into it. Many companies would just slap together parts and ship them on out.
I wonder how it will compare to the Jackson Racing version when it comes out.

Most interesting is that TDR uses one size bigger Rotrex than Kraftwerk, for the na8 and nb8.

This. Gary has been supercharging miatas for over a decade with great success and has built up a great business and report with his customers, including myself. If i was in the market for a new supercharger kit they would more than likely be my choice. Have had numerous pleasant dealings with William and Gary both!
Im sure the choice for the slightly larger size (compressor or turbine, not sure) would be thermal efficiency. The slightly larger unit will make boost more efficiently than the smaller unit so it won't have to work as hard.
I think the changes they made will make the difference in longevity/reliability of the system since they improved on every weak point of the current ots kits, namely the oil cooler size, intercooler size/ducting, mounting bracket and engine management. Hats off to TDR for taking their time and doing it right!

Thanks for the link wannafbody. I've been looking into superchargers and this looks very promising.
The dyno sheets looks great on all the models.

This keeps getting brought up on different forums but it isn't a apples to apples comparison since Jackson Racing's focus is CARB approved kits(as has been in the past). So obviously the power levels from CARB kits are going to be much more modest since they are limited by factory injectors or at least thats my understanding of it.
Will they release non CARB kits...i dunno but would think so since its easier but again from my understanding JR's focus is CARB approved kits, time will tell. I think Oscar's(?) getting involved once again is a big step forward in Jackson Racing's moving forward.
Nothing easy about getting an EO number from CARB.
I was told that JR already has the Carb number. I'm not sure what the hold up is.
