So where will the alternator be mounted on this set up the rear? or above the charger?
I've seen one of these done before but the charger was mounted infront of the coil pack with a shaft running across the front of the engine

Suppose that makes sense for plumbing in the intercooler. I personally would use a sleeved shaft could you imagine catching something in that even at idle speed

308bhp last time it was on the rollers which was at tipton garage for a clio shootout.
Its a fair bit lighter than an m3 though of course, and less transmission losses.
