My personal preference: manual

I think personal preference is all its down to. Auto chokes are pretty reliable nowadays.

As I am planning some engine upgrades I thought it would be a good idea to be able to keep an eye on my vitals.
Off to Ebay then and bought myself an oil temp gauge and an oil pressure gauge..



Here I have attached the senders onto the oil pump and fitted to the block to check the clearence of the adaptor to the block......

Top link. Thank you very much.
Ordering for world wide postage is very easy on this site.
Valve springs now ordered.
Are the standard retainers ok to use?

Or maybe a link to where I can buy some new

OK, after more research I have discovered it is a bypass valve needed in a blow through system to prevent overboost during idleing, so that can be done away with.
Has anybody heard of any problems using drawthrough on an Eaton charger?

Wanted, dual valve springs for my A15 rebuild and retainers to suit if they differ from stock.
Must be willing to post

Cheers

Was just a thought....... my thinking was 3 welds failing simultaneously was a tad unusual

I found this statement on the Eaton website:-

"Additionally, the supercharger incorporates a bypass system to reduce air handling losses when boost is not required, resulting in better fuel economy"

So im thinking it may be this

That was my first thought too. The same guy is selling the rest of the engine and it looks like an inline 4 cylinder. Another thought was that maybe it was a bypass system but with with no clutch on the SC I dont see the point.
Yes, I did buy it. For that kind of money if it wasnt any good I could sell on with no loss.
I had a chat with the guy first aswell. It seems it runs on its own oil and is "filled for life".

I am also a bit confused to the reason it has 3 inlets/ outlets
