On what engine? If there isnt a off the shelf kit available its quite complicated and it will involve some bracket/pulley fabrication.

Yeah ive been looking at ESS kit which gives 120bhp.
Just wondered if it was a diy fit. Seems the hardest part is tapping in the oil feed if its a Vortech type charger.
I know shit all about them btw just been looking now as it interests me

we use these, very compact, they use rheir own oil supply too so no tapping the sump.
hardest bit for diy will be the map unless you buy an off the shelf kit

Colin not that I have looked into this....
I would go for a turbo personally
http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/HorsepowerFreaks/Turbos/Turbo_Kits/E46_M3/11037
Or if you fancy a charger kit:
http://www.simpsonmotorsport.co.uk/default.asp?id=145&pid=70&name=BMW%20M3%20CSL%20Supercharged&page=Projects
Simpson charge around the 8-12k mark.
Shame the pound is so weak as the HPF kit from america is nuts!
