turbo/supercharger?
has anyone attempted to take a turbocharger and turn it into a belt driven turbo/supercharger? i want to try this by taking the casing off of the back of the turbo and adding a pulley and custom bracket to bolt it onto the engine where the original air pump was located. everything will be welded and very strongly secured. i am hoping to get around 8-10 psi from this setup. i will be using an air/fuel controller, msd ignition system, blow off valve, boost controller, oil filter adapter with oil lines for the turbo/supercharger, and maybe larger fuel injectors at some point.
i will be putting this setup on a 91 s5.
leave me some feedback on this thread and let me know what you think and maybe some suggestions and/or additions to this setup.
thanks!

You might be able to get your hands on a centrifugal supercharger drive system and modify that to fit a turbocharger with the turbine removed... I don't know, I guess it's easier said than done.
Why not just go 6-port turbo using S5 TII parts?

And no, a simple pulley and thin stock-type fan belt will not work.

Props for dreaming, but unless you have some serious knowledge of machine work and access to mills, lathes, etc.... even then you'd probably end up with the project in the garbage can. You'd have to enclose the turbo, gear it using planetaries such that the belt can spin it at the same speed a turbo would spin to create boost, and for each shaft you'd have to create bearings that can support axial and radial loads. Even then, you'd have some issues with making bearings that can handle spinning 50k rpm+.
I'd recommend letting the professionals design compressors. Don't want anything coming apart and entering your engine, right?
Practical power doesn't really exist. About the cheapest you can get is buying TII intake manifold, TII exhaust manifold and turbo, and everything associated for fuel/spark concerns. You can't just slap on a turbocharger and expect the stock naturally aspirated ecu to supply enough fuel and control spark properly. For all that you'd need a TII ecu, AFM, boost sensor, etc. Just look at Aaroncake.net He explains in full painstaking detail about turning the N/A engine into a turbo.

It has been said using the available turbo parts & the knowledge provided on the forums should help you get boosted by spring & at the end of the day you are not playing the guessing game. Used turbo & superchargers can be found for decent prices. Basically you want to build your own centrifugal, I suggest you just hunt down a used one.
