Andddddd, will be easy to upgrade the unit to an m45 at a later date....all the pipe work will be the same
Matt
It'll probably be less than that with all the pipework and the size of the intercooler (again imo)
Hopefully he'll be happy with it for 6months then when eatons deal with BMW runs out the prices for chargers should go down

well just spent a fortune today first things first I'm insured for another year so with that debt out the way i thought i would treat myself to some bits for the car
firstly my radio has been dying for a long time so its about time i got an upgrade
then i thought i would get back onto the job at hand and sort out something for the supercharger so i ordered a few samcos to plum the pipework to in green
