Hello.
Really want my IS200 to be supercharged. Someones gonna be making copies of a cradle for a few of us wanting to do the same.

All associated parts can be purchased online but im a bit concerned as too the engineering of the cradle.

As im going to be using a mercedes supercharger surely im going to be needing a custom cradle to match that,not just a replica of the one designed for the true kit.

have also been reading of electric clutches which need to be wired in and the removal of one leg from the cradle to accompany a decat manifold?

I either spend a year or two building up my own setup possibly halving my costs or i just save and save till i can shot 2grand on a complete kit which are often up for grabs.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated and i thank you for your time.

Just to pount out the tte kit uses the Mercedes supercharger, there wouldn't really be a point buying a cradle for something different. If you lool through the forum there are enough pages amd threads on supercharger kits with all the info you need

The mounts on the merc charger are the same as the tte kit so yes you need the same cradle.
