I dont know about a Rover turbo unit, but I know of several turbocharged or supercharged Westfields.

Likewise, i know of a Rover K series turbo engined Seven style kit, but not one in Caterham.
I can't understand why people fit turbos to sevens when a supercharger give a much more controllable power curve, and a lot less trouble with under bonnet temperatures. The only advantage of a turbo over supercharger for road use is fuel economy.

Yes, indeed!
