Saving for a new car but the 5 is a distraction!

[Dodd90]

So ive only owned my mark 2 for half a year and i love it! I plan on keeping it for another year or 2 Since ive come of apprentice money and now on engineers money im finally getting paid well. The only problem (not really a problem in my opinion) is that whilst im saving i feel im guna prob end up selling my mark 2 and getting another 5. Yes i love them that much. Is this a common thing? haha

I know the feeling Ken. Start heavily modifying it, its even worse.

I was planning on buying a Boxster and have now decided that I am going to supercharge my Mk2.5 Sport.

I think that, if I was to do it all again now I wouldn't go the route I have done. I'd go for a cold-side MP62 instead. Big power is nice but the cold-side chargers are just so driveable and the throttle so sensitive it's just a fantastic drive! Hot-side is good for power and for track use as you can stick a whopping great IC in there but if it's mostly for road use then you really can't beat cold-side.

I've never had a poke around a cold-side setup - how does it all go together? How does the manifold/charger all go together and mount, what does it look like? Who makes them? how does the piping route? I'm Curious...!?

It's worth keeping an eye on this thread.

There is also plenty of info/discussions/pictures here.

Google 'FastForwardSuperchargers'

I can send you an e-drawing of the complete setup done in some 3d modeling software if you want.

Explains how it all goes together rather well

Richard - as I'm sitting at a CAD station right now, that would be grand... I've PM'd you my email.
