>In Aus thay're fitted in Holdens. Drove one on the weekend in a LWB luxo
barge Statesman and was extremely surprised by the grunt as well as the
linear power delivery.

>Now, wanted to force induct my own earlier 3800, questions I have is if I
mount the S/C between the engine and throttle body (with the MAP sensor on
the throttle body), can I get away with running a 1 bar/atmo MAP sensor as
the MAP would never see boost.

rev/lo TPS.

>Anyone Stateside know the price of a factory S/C for a 3800 - a local
importer here has a new one but wants $1800. I can buy a brand new complete
engine from Holden for approx $5000, which makes the $1800 for a bare S/C
seem a little high :-(
