In case you're interested MCM on YouTube are doing a couple of mx5 NBs with similar setups but one with an sc and one with a turbo.

Yes, thanks. I've been watching it myself. Also the earlier one about sticking a turbo on a Mk1.

Very interesting. Looking forward to the next episode.

Shame they didn't show the rotrex install.

Although it is the kraftwerks kit, with the small rotrex and slightly suspect installation kit, I'm hoping for good things...

Careful note of the detail within the tests will be necessary, otherwise it'll be an automatic turbo win due to max power and sharply rising torque.

So it's not really turbo vs supercharger. It's exhaust driven turbo vs belt driven turbo.

Oooh, get you! wink

My understanding is that whilst the housing looks exceptionally similar to the compressor side of a turbo, inside is really very different...

It would be good to add in a positive displacement charger in the mix though.

Are there any kits still available - apart from the ffs daftness!
