I'm in the process of supercharging my m50b25 non-vanos. I have all the bits mostly bolted in place. What I need to know is.... I have 400cc RC injectors, but I'm guessing I need to upgrade the fuel pump and regulator as these are stock e36 items at the moment. What do you suggest?

Use those injectors and standard reg that's how I had it on mine..
As for pump look for a guy on Facebook called duane hurley ask him for the quantum high flow fuel pump tell him I sent you.
Alternatively drop them an email at fuelperformance.co.uk

The setup worked fine like this for me

Awesome! Thanks for the response, I'll go track down Duane.

Did you blank the hole on the S/C where the purge valve was or leave it open? I've left it open at the moment.

No it was left open whwn I had it and I ran it like that no issues at all.

It's the part of the supercharger casing that houses the belt and is not under any pressure I think is just to vent off that side of the charger. It's the other side of the charger (the back side) that's under boost

Brilliant, that's what I thought, but wanted to be sure as it's a pain to get to now it's bolted in. I'm having a right game with the cooling at the moment. I'm having to cut behind where the rad sits to make enough room for the IX radiator to sit!
