sell it and buy either:
A - a KB 2.1 if you REALLY want a twin screw
B - a centri like a ProCharger/Vortech/etc
C - buy a turbo and call it a day...

i looked on another forum and found nothing. I would say I would sell you mine but, I don't think it will work with a 95.

huh?? that doesn't make sense?? so they won't sell you the stock replacement parts /pipes for the charger cause it's maxed out?? I assume you worded it wrong and you're trying to max it out with larger pipes??

and btw, they did have a version back when only the 1.5 was produced that was either a blowzilla or flowzilla. It put out 9lbs of boost with the manifold upgrade.

thanx for searching ive been looking too but had no luck but i figured if i ask maybe sum1 will have stock manifolds from a blown up charger or sumn

kenne bell said that stock manifolds were no longer made for the 1.5 and that the upgraded flow blow setup is not compatible...

the data tag says autorotor 3150
and also kenne bell ts 1000-5 d-271-6

there is a guy that used to put up wtb ads for anything kenne bell. manifolds, pulleys, anything that wasn't a complete kit. I have no idea what he want he wanted with them but, I will see I can find it. I would like to upgrade mine too. It would be a lot better than putting on a smaller pulley in my eyes just for the sake of longevity of the whipplecharger.

When you do get it figured out, you are going to love the torque the thing puts out. 6lbs of boost, mine will spin the tires to 70mph with street tires. Still got to get to working on that too but, street tires are a lot cheaper than buying drag radials, suspension and transmissions when you don't really have the cash.

maybe so, I remember the ads they had back in the back of mm&ff magazines that advertised a 9lb kit before a bigger blower or kits for anything other than a 1.5 were offered. It may have been from a different pulley but, I think it was from a different blower manifold. Only way I remember that is from the drawing they had of it that showed a 30 something or whatever horsepower increase from the airflow of the manifold. What it was called, I have no idea.
