That ain't overly bad. More then I'd ideally like to pay, but looks better then a flat piece with a pipe sticking out of it. Do you mind if I take your drawing and see what I can get em made up for? I'm going to see a man about em in the next few days.

Go ahead, mate. Let me know if you need more dimensions.

The inlet would pretty much be a flat flange with a pipe, partly because you'd have to cast it to make it the same shape as the hole in the supercharger and partly because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference. I'm not sure the cone on the outlet would be necessary, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Cheers, I'll let you know what he comes back with. I'll be ordering one of your black boxes later when I get back from work. I'll drop you a PM in a bit.

Has anyone actually completed a conversion using 2" pipework?

Only reason for asking is that it looks small? Or as it's boosted does it not matter? It looks like a really tight fit in places so I'd rather use it if it isn't going to make a difference?

2 1/4" is available and that would also match the size of the intercooler outlets.

P.Lindblom I guess the demand for those superchargers kind of went up thanks to Pat's cradles Smile

For those with the mini cooper bypass valve, after a search I did about if there is a way to adjust the valve found out that in mini forums saying that from the factory the valve is not well adjusted and needs to readjust it because there is a leak and loose pressure. If you see through inside the valve with a light on the opposite side you will see light pass through which it should not. You have to unscrew the two bolts inside the pipe that holds the moving disk and try to adjust the disk not to see light from the opposite side you might need also to adjust the stop screw outside the pipe .I did it and get some more pressure and less noise!

Ive just been out to the garage to check mine and it looks like it could do with a minor adjustment.

Thanks for the tip
