Ok, just need to figure out ho centrafugal clutches work, then make one for the 'charger, then get it to fit onto the tb and get it to fit into the engine bay while still keeping the engine management happy and the boost pipe from the turbo on to to the tb too

Its where you have a min pin beating a drum inside the inlet manifold to force extra air into the dual flux capacitors.

170 bhp yes...

Still only 8.2 secs to 60 mph though

Be ideal for general commuting though - nippy car, with good fuel econ and great on motorways.
