I'm so jealous. How come a supercharger for an M3 is £2.5-4k, yet one for an Elise is £7.5k?

Elise is a lot harder to package due to space, probably cant use many off the shelf components.

This is a big supercharger:

But now there's an Elise S which has a bolt on supercharger I don't see why the price isn't more competetive (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/news/37161.html)

Click on the pics, just looks like a few bolt on bits and you're away.

That M3 csl is one of my favourite vids of all time tbh. The sound!!!

I saw an MTM RS6 in Lanark a few weeks ago that sounded real nice just driving past.

I know there are bolt on kits for the Toyota engine to go in the Celica (Blitz and GReddy) but I guess they wont fit on the Elise ??

I'll find out exactly how much is cost monday... think he is secretly trying to get it faster than boss's porker, but his 911 has just had lots of internal engine work and power is up at about 575bhp :eek:

You can get one for about 4 k i think, it's is based on a popular kit that was devolped stateside

http://www.sector111.com/newest_stuff/katana_supercharger.cfm, i think sinclairs lotus do it for about 4k in the uk
