Find me an S/C that won't break the bank then :p

I did a casual search for one a while back and all I could see was mig users warbling on about some company (possibly regal?) being the only importer of suitable S/C kits for the X30. Might have to nose around on a few yank sites to see what people over there stick on L81s as they love superchargers.

I'm not such a girl as baxter though, I'll happily have it sat 12" out the bonnet lol

there's a dutch guy who also is on mig, on the dutch forums he goes by the name 'corsaboy'. he used to run a corsa b c20ne with an eaton m64 and is now building a c20xe with an eaton m90.

I was at Retro Rides Summer slam at Ace Cafe last weekend, a Lupo GTi showed up sporting an Eaton M45. Sounded epic as he parked it up.

I picked up my M90 for £50 lol I did need a new coupler though.

On the Magnuson products ebay site in the US they are selling Gen4 MP90 blowers brand new old stock for like £300!!! Good for 2.5litre engines upwards.

Its something I've fancied for a while tbh, I always said when I got american V8 I'd S/C it. This is as close as I'll get for the time being lol

go on movie clips and there she is, blower is a twin screw Lysholm 1600 I belive.
looking into doing this myself. Iv heard the mini blowers would be a tad to small if you want to run anyway near high boost?

google tsr or put www infront of it.

m45 (cooper S) is to small for an XE.. high boost m64 on a c20ne resulted in 200+ hp

IIRC the E45 with a pulley that gives you max blower rpms @ max engine rpms will result in around 6/7 psi on an XE.
E62 is something like 14/15 psi again maxed out
