Yes. Centrifugal Supercharger. I know for sure of at least 2 people on here who are running them, I'm sure there are more. Maybe if you'd chosen a better thread title, they would have posted in here.

oops, i wasnt sure what to post it as, but

so it works?

i'm thinking to put it right in place of the air pump.

it's a s5 vert

i can spend without any real limits, and if it's as easy as it looks...

it's so small and compact, and by the looks of it, it's not to complicated.

i dont want to put a traditional turbo, and the atkins supercharger has too much going on, i was going to set up a nitrous kit, but if this 'll work...

are there any pics of this set up in someone's car?

Impossible to get as only a few were produced. Major problems with mount flexing and overspeeding the blower. Poor powerband compared to a properly sized turbo. Hard to intercool.
