FWIW Adrian Flux used to insure my VXT inc all mods. They also will have heard of us and our work too which helps!

I was lucky enough to drive a turbo this week and to be honest I wasnt to impressed Im not a great fan of Tubby-Lag I like an engine to pull right through the rev range....none of this BOOSTING shite
So if this S/C is as good as some other S/c's that ive driven in the past then i'll be buying a kit for sure

There must have been a problem with that turbo as all the ones I have driven have not had any lag. I must say b4 I had the miltek fitted there was an anoying flat spot between 3500 to 4000 rpm but that has now gone.

All turbots without antilag have lag - that's why you get in the way of Honda powered elises

Added to the list.

I gave Elephant (my current insurer) a call earlier, they said no to the sc.

Anyone got any ideas what companies would be worth a try?

Admiril won't do it either. 25% max power increase, they say...

Cheers, Paul.

Not by the time I have finished modding it.

Norwich Union refused this too. Bastards. Time to get on the phone. My Misses doesn't seem to understand why I think this mod is more important than upgrading the bathroom. I didn't dignify the question with a response.

Liverpool Victoria used to allow any mod's provided they didn't increase cc. I only had to pay an admin charge when I put the Milltek and Viper on my NA.

I'm having real problems with insurance for this. Adrian Lawson have said no as have most of the mainstream insurance cos, Eggar Lawson have quoted me £1.7K pa more than my current insurance and I can't seem to find HTH or Esteems numbers despite an extensive trawl of t'internet. Any suggestions/ help with numbers would be appreciated, I'd be gutted if a piddling thing like insurance stopped me doing this.

LV are now shite, and won't even cover your car if you put super unleaded / fancy smelling screenwash in it.

Ok, maybe I exagerate slightly, but they won't cover any car with mods now.

Try Autotorque - best quote by a long way for me

Just been on to LV as I've just had the renewal on my policy which is due up in two weeks. They confirm no new mods but existing ones they know about are covered. Jury's out on track cover and they're getting back to me.

Presumably Auto Torque are ok on the usual comprehensive stuff, Europe cover etc?

I've still not rung em.

Just tryed a few companies: Esteem, who what where, can't even find a phone number (Foxy?). Adrian Flux, 20 minute que. Hi Performance, they said they would put me through to a sister company, ended up at Norwich Union who seem to hire 5 year olds with learning problems, didn't get anywhere. Performance direct, they don't believe me that a VX220 exists. All the others are closed. EDIT: they are enough to put me off modifying.

Has anyone managed to get insurance cover with this sc?

As no one in this country has one yet i doubt it.

And you won't be surprised to hear that the new LV policy does not provide track cover. What a PITA!
