That Rotrex kit looks good, tho it seems as if there is not currently a m20 application. Any other suggestions for the m20?

IIRC Lennie started out with what he thought was a M90 that turned out to be a M62.......

He was going to fit the M90 but he had this mad thought about compound charging it and he's disapeared into his garage since......

I've seen his turbo manifold in the flesh so I'm pretty certain he'll be back again soon......

There is another thread under 'Engine Swaps / Forced Induction' with a few pics etc. Take a look and let me know.
