Ah now I understand. So its not certain if SCS will and can help you (in their expert view).
I saw their prices and those are very low compard to the big aftermarket names.

The price is reasonable the big saving is not having to pay for fitting and configuring the ecu to work with the car. My last email from them was positive we would sort a date they would take my car. And develops the current ms43 swap they have for the e46 to work on the e85. It would then be a product they offer. So my car is a development car for them.
But I haven’t heard from them since. I haven’t bothered them much as I wasn’t ready. But I am about 1-2 weeks away from the car in my eyes being done and sending it to them.
I did email them again yesterday with more information. So hopefully they are sorting things there end and we can book a date towards the end of February. With my car all finished and working by the end March? But I don’t seem to be having much luck with the project at the moment so who knows? Fingers crossed that’s about to change.

So after many unaswerd emails! I decided to call SCS Delta. Andvit was good news they apologised for not responding they have just been busy after the auto sport show.
So they are very busy for the next few weeks. I guess so am I getting everything finished for them. Hopefully the end of this project is tantalisingly close!

Thanks mark it needs the last few bits welding in and a plate at the front for the TB to bolt on to. Then painted crackle black I think it will look great. I am sure that the aluminium runners will need cutting back. I am making it at home away from the car. And it’s eadier to cut off than add on!!

Nice work! Seems such a shame to hide those lovely trumpets though. One day you should do an ITB mod.

I know they look so cool. Not bad as they wher all made on my little manual lathe. Using the nice cnc at work would have benn nice but not an option any more.
ITBs look great but when you way up the pros and cons just not worth it. They end up in my application just more to go wrong with no benafit other than looking nice. I can’t think of many blown engines that use them oem or aftermarket?

I don’t think this would fit what with your S/C under the bonnet that side of the engine. But yes I could do you something. Already been thinking of a designe for supercharged cars like yours.

So the plenum plan is working out.
Oli filter housing got a look at today. Figured out where oil goes in and works. And it looks like my idea previously to make a new cap. To take a feed from the centre to an oil cooler. And from the cooler back to the outer side of the oil filter housing. Winning
