AA received an E39 M5 from someone in California for them to use on their development of a twin M5 supercharger. They are starting R&D next week and they will hopefully have a finalized product within several months...the total cost of the kit might be less than $15K...

Re: Active Autowerke M5 Twin Supercharger Insider
Twin supercharger setup?! So how does this setup work? Two smaller blowers better than one big one? What is the expected output?
