I was wondering has anyone on here supercharged a m50 .
I have seen a few kits but they all seem to be centrifugal type super chargers .

I would love to do one with a twin screw type and megasquirt ecu.

best thing to do is contact Ant @ A-Tech, I know he does the Rotrex chargers but he may have some useful advice about what's best to use. There's a reasonable bit of dead space under the inlet manifold on these M50's isn't there :)

Active Autowerke make a bolt on kit for the M50 engine. It works extremely well.
