does this have both then? (prob being a bit thick here)
Interesting project OP, it'll be interesting to watch it progress... I particularly like the subtle bonnet venting..I'v now got all the pipe fittings I need, so did a bit of plumbing today,
So, I'v decided what look I'm going for with the bonnet
This was a Pulsar type vent which I'v cut about an inch off the hight and got rid of the front bit, I may go lower yet.
Well as prommised, a vid of the first start, unfortunately I'v run out of hose clips so I can't rev the engine (it just blowes the boost pipe off as soon as i close the throttle)
still to do, fit the oil cooler (I'v just bypassed it for now) modify bottom hose and then tidy up. then comes the slow process of mapping it using a dastek unichip.

I now have a hole in the bonnet, (still a lot of fetteling to do yet)
And now we have boost, (don't these mobile phones have crap sound quality)

Whilst there's no doubt in my mind that this will be flawed compared to a well tuned turbo only T5, I really really like this idea.
I wanted to supercharge my old 2.0 10v Auto just for a giggle, but never got round to it as I kept buying other cars.
Good luck with it and keep us posted!
I totaly agree, but my friend is in the process of building a 400bhp 850 T5 at the moment, and the spendomiter is already in excess of 7k, I hope to achive 350bhp for less than a grand (that includes the price of the car)I wanted to supercharge my old 2.0 10v Auto just for a giggle, but never got round to it as I kept buying other cars.

I upped the boost today (bloodey hell it feels strong) and spent the day putting pipes back on...lol, I must have jacked the car up about 10 times today..lol
so I'v took off all my alloy joiners and will weld beads on them all tomorrow, I knew I'd have to do that anyway but I wanted to wait until I had all the pipe runs sorted.

Upped the boost to a safe 16psi and took it for a test run.
