Last time I looked into this powerflow were the only people dealing with the old STA gear, unless u can find something on ebay? As an Australian designed blower - Superchargers Technology Australia, you'll be hard pressed finding anything other than whats done locally.. best off going Vortech for a centrifugal blower in this country, best aftermarket support.

STA parts are no longer made from what i know. last i heard CAPA can do a swap for a powerdyne or vortech unit, plus alot better quality blower and support.

I would rate it better than a powerdyne personally however. You can get capa to make you up a custom pulley from a blank, just tell them what its for and how much boost you want to run and they should be able to get something organised - doubt it will be cheap tho. ---------- Post added 26-03-10 at 04:58 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by slam3d [View Post] one of them sta efi 5.0 ltr blowers was stolen from my work in cranbourne last year. o....m....g!

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
