Can run a turbo and supercharger too, but looks like the turbo was ditched and replaced with that. Superchargers have no lag - but are alot more expensive to play about with and more grief to tinker with.

Thats cool as fuck!

Tho hope theres a nice amount of heat wrap on the manifold to stop the supercharger getting heated up too much, or you will get the same mega charge temps you do on turbo motors.

Hope someone off here buys it so we can find out more like bhp and performance, but the car sounds good: leather, air con, elec sunroof etc. Even if someone ended up putting it back to turbocharged, would be fun, and would have supercharger to sling on eBay afterwards

Turbos are much more efficient – imo, producing exponential pressure (to a point) Superchargers produce a linier pressure (in line with the engine revs), there is also a greater power loss from actually driving the thing in the first place…

Be interesting to see what sort of power it would produce, as others have said the good thing is there is no lag
