Yes, the setup is a DLI , the same as the others, only I recieved mine in late 2005 after Mr Landy had issues with B/M - Holley, and went with a screw drive Magnacharger on my setup. Also I had my holley 650 carb rejetted and converted to alcohol for e85. As for the intake, I built it from 3" exhaust and sheet metal.

That answered my main question, I was just curious about the aircleaner setup, looked all over and couldnt find out who sold it haha. That setup sure would look sweet hangin out the back of my beater....

What prices are the chargers.
I am seriously thinking of going with just one now as that would look pretty good sticking up out of my back window.
Engine would be a stroker 2007 and isnt built yet so comp ratios could be built to suit.

When I purchased mine, DLI was having issues with blower suppliers, so I had to wait over 6 months for them to re-design and machine a new charger. In the end, after all the labor and time I paid around $4500 for the whole kit including , extra pulley, holley carb, and polished manifolds. I first saw this setup in a vwtrends mag back in '94 and instantlly fell in love with it. I sent for info and recieved a packet which I still have to this day, and it stated that the kit was around $2000 back then. I was a teen back then and didn't have that kind of loot, but always said when I get the cash, I'll get it. Finally in jan.2005 I placed my order and then was hit again by sticker shock. Inflation SUCKS! Anyways, I love this setup, its been good to me, and the magnacharger seems to wine louder than the previous b-m kit. Now I have a question , does DLI still make this kit? I know Mr. Landy passed this previous year, and I noticed dli stopped advertising in HotVw's as of last June's issue. I've tried to get a hold of them, but it seems as though the number I have is no longer in service. If they still do and somebody could pass along their number I would greatly appriciate it.Thanks in advance.

Thanks
