Can you get the exact diameter from Barry please? Sorry to labour the point but I can't confirm until I run the measurement past Tim at Raptor.

No point in underdriving the blower...

A 20% underdrive will gain you less then 20% of the power it takes to drive the accessories, maybe a result of say 2-3rwkw's?
With an underdrive you also get heavier carpark steering and probably a rough idle unless tuned/idle increased.

What was the outcome of this group buy? Did it go ahead??

May be interested if it got off the ground again....
Is it really worthwhile getting an underdrive kit for an AU?? What exactly are the benefits?

And if it were to happen again, what price would people be looking at?
