No gauges are required. If you are interested in some gauges, it's up to you to decide what you would like to see reported.

If I don't put in any gauges, will I miss any vital info or can the kit overheat under certain situations where monitoring certain component maybe recommended? I personally don't like to have guages in the car and mess around w/ wiring...

Just signed the interest list, but don't think I won't be glued to this thread.

Not to sound repetitive, but do you have a link to the dyno sheet that was in that siphon mag? I'd like to see the numbers

I signed the interest list a LONG time ago. I've been glued to the old thread everyday though. This thread has helped alot. You guys have been great with answering all the questions and keeping us posted in a timely manner!

I do have one question though. I have searched through the other thread and can't find if the kit will be powder coated like the kit in pictures or if that is something we will have to arrange ourselves? Sorry to bother with such a silly question. Thanks for all your help.

The kit will run flawlessly daily, with no hiccups. I am sure Chris can chime in here as well, as he uses his Fit as a daily driver.

And for extended driving, its just the same. We drove our Silver Fit to Buttonwillow Raceway, ran it at the track all day hard, and then drove it back to SoCal. We have taken the Fit from SoCal to Colorado in one day (11 hour trip), without an issue.

We are no where near the max boost range for the L15. Our High-Boost (10 PSI) kit will run all day with no issues as well, so there is no need to be concerned at 5 PSI.

We will confirm international compatibility once our production pieces our available. We will be sending these pieces to Rotrex partners throughout the world to check Right Hand Drive Fit/Jazz. We believe that we should have no problems.

Unfortunately, the kit will be available in North America only upon initial release. We will get our international testing complete, and then the kit will be available to all Fit/Jazz owners...

Actually, that is all very old information. The most accurate information on the Rotrex supercharger can be found at Rotrex.

Ditto. then we will have to wait again after the pre order to actually get it. 4-6 weeks is what i was told when i called.

i know it will be worth it.
