Will that fit an is200?

If you are thinking of building your own kit the super charger cradle is next to impossible to find singly.

Chris so what I have read mate

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Oh fair enough. I thought it was just the TTE supercharger that fitted but I don't know much about superchargers. My car isn't supercharged lol

[SpeedFreak]

Mines not YET lol

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

My plan was to always charge it after I bought the lex but I had no idea they were £2k and no idea that TTE was no more and the chargers had stopped being produced. :(

Which cradle do I get mate

[IHgs300]

Only option you have is try to find original tte item (rare as hens teeth) or have one made, BUT you will have to find someone who has one and is willing to either measure theirs or lend it you as a pattern.

Never seen one for sale seperately, always part of the kit which sells for around £2000. Even they are rare.

But i wish you luck in your project.

As said, cradle is the biggest obstacle to overcome. The guys over on the other forum aren't having much luck getting cradles made, and they'd be the guys to speak to as there's quite a few running SC's on there, and the collective knowledge about them on that forum far outweighs the knowledge on this forum.

There's also a modification that has to be done to the nose or the clutch, or something like that, on the Merc charger, as it's different to the one TTE used. Again, the guys on the other site are the ones to talk to
