Pho3niX90, hi, just to get the record straight. You are going to turbocharge this beast and not supercharge it, right? The thing you had in your hands there is a turbo. Sorry, my bad, looked like a turbo from here but on closer inspection says Vortex (supercharger)
Hey bud, it's the centrifugal supercharger, they do look like turbos

Diesel Fan is correct, it is indeed a Vortech, but it cannot be a V4. The V4 is too big for a 3 litre straight six that revs up to 6500.
RGM only use V2 sci chargers on BMW's. The V2 charger requires oil cooler and oil return line.
I think Phoenix can confirm for us, it will state the charger type on the blue metal tag on the top of the charger.
Correct. It's the V2
Okay, zaust done. The engine mounting was kaput, was changed and now need to do the gearbox mounting as well because it also looks completely gone.
I went for the 57mm pipe and the Tnt branches acquired from moranor. The car screams / growls like a monster, very loud but acceptable and makes my foot even more heavy! The power increase is extremely noticeable especially from standstill.
