It's a newer version ct-engineering/comptech kit with the novi 1220SL blower.

If its oil fed then youre fine, but if its the SL version you need to change to oil fed asap as they have been insanely prone to failure. The change is a quick turn around from paxton and pretty cheap I believe... hell even do a novi 1200 while youre at it

confirmed... it is a 1220sl
how much do you think for the change to non-sl.

Don't be scared of the 1220SL. Just monitor the SC oil. Check it every so often and keep it topped off. Although a lot of people have had failures, there are more 1220SL owners that haven't had any issues with them. You'll know it's going bad if it starts making bad noises.
If you upgrade to the 1200, you'll need larger injectors if you don't have them already, a 4 bar map sensor, and a flash pro ready for another tune session. An upgraded clutch and flywheel will be needed also.
Good luck with your purchase.

Dont convert!
I asked Jeff Evans about this when I got tuned. He said the SL's are the one he finds the most problematic. He recomended engine feed oil even if you just buy a new kit today.

Yup, just installed a larger crank pulley extension that was custom made by CT-Engineering. Now I'm boosting around 9.5-10lbs. I have to get a smaller blower pulley made by CT to boost 12psi. You'll have to do a slightly smaller than original size blower pulley and a larger crank pulley extension if you want to go beyond 10psi on the newer CT 1220 kits.
It's actually pretty good to help eliminate belt slippage.
