does anybody have any expirience with supercharged 4.5 cerb?
I have my SC kit from my previous X5 4.6 l with larger bosch injectors and KN filter. Boosting 0.5 bar

As the space is really good the fitting of the sc in the cerb will be a small problem

the car used to reside in Holland, was for sale about 3 years ago. Cant remeber who did the install, but it was not one to shout about. Sorry not much more help than that

Yep, AFAIK both have been done in low boost set ups, the supercharger is the one that appeared forsale three years ago(possibly more) - a grey 4.2 Supercharged. smile

Correct, twas SC'd. As I recall the power output was not that much either, but this is 3 year on now, and there are a whole host of figures that give the max for a 4.2, so the power may have been good in reality.
