Yes nice idea I have thought about a turbo on my 2.8 what puts me off is the amount of other work to take that much power . is yours v6 ? If so I am pretty sure the gear box won't be up to it ? Would love to see it done. good luck

Yes,it's a 2.9.
Surely there's a gearbox to suit somewhere ?
I've got the guys phone number for the supercharger,sounds like it's in good condition.
Anybody done a supercharged S2 before ?

Oh yeah I'm sure an mt75 would be ok. Just saying that buying and fitting the unit is the tip of the ice berg, is the engine up to it , what about brakes and the rest of the drive train ? I'm sure someone who knows will be along in a moment . How many horses do you think it would make ?

Lee fitted a supercharger to his S(2?), and he said it was a hell of a lot of work. I fitted one on my V8S and it was a hell of a lot of work. (The engine work took a lot of time and money, but I think I probably spent more upgrading the the rest of the car to take the power safely and reliably.)
