This is the only photo of a supercharged T4 I have (I think this is actaully a T3?):

Naaahhh, it's a T4. T3 shroud is a BUNCH different. The Cap'n

Hmmn, Do you have access to a machine shop? welding equipment? If not you might wanna reconsider- nothing is off the shelf when doing this.... The Supercharger I have used a couple of times is from a Ford Thunderbird called Eaton M-62 Its far from a bolt on affair.

I was planning on the eaton M-62 as well. Make up your own manifold to bolt to the bottom (just line the outlets up with stock 2.0L runners). Then do your TB/intercooler. Or be like jake and maybe design a whole bolt-on manifold (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

NO CARBURETOR(s)....period !!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) If you are going to spend the time, money and effort, use programmable electronic fuel injection.....PEFI can be built for less than $500...you can sell your carbs for that amount or even more..........

The control you have with a real EFI system is just epic. It beats twiddling screws until it sounds right or filing the needle profile down a bit.

I think a supercharger on a TypeIV would be an awesome setup - don't have to mess with all the exhaust plumbing.

What charger does the Mini Cooper S have on it - that might probably be pretty much ideal for a 1.7 motor??

Fiid.

Lysholm Twin Screw off a Corrado and I'm really only trying to make up for 6,000ft elevation. Like everyone else, a work in progress.

I'm not suer , but didn't the corrado have ahte (in)famous "G-lader" scroll pump style supercharger? mine did! I've always thought that woudl be a nice way to boost a teener!

Has anyone put a turbo in an MFI 6 teener? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

MFI is not made to handle turbocharging. It sends a fixed amount of fuel to the motor based on rpm and throttle position, manifold pressure is not included in the "calculation" (if you can even call it that).

You could add a vacuum control solenoid to the MFI pump but that sounds really awkward...

The thing that throws you off is what looks like a header (lower right) that's coming out like on a T1 (or T3).

Oh well.... Thanks for the answer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

You are correct, the Corrado had the fragile G-Ladder. The donor car I bought had a retro fit Lysholm charger installed. Bullet proof compard to the VW charger. It may just be easier to convert to the 1.8 inline from the Corrado!
