I agree with Wayne to a degree. Daily hacks are all about modern technology not to keep it as hassle free as possible.

However....

If it is a project (6month of the year) car and the owner is willing to lavish money at it pulling the charger off a frequent intervals to overhaul it then why not.

There isn't much that can beat the sound of some forced induction supercharger whine in my book.

Even mine wouldn't be happy to be a daily.  As it's not one, if I had the money I would love to finish it off with a charger and i'd try and keep it on K-jet! :tongue:

Maybe one day!
