Supercharging an M5 - the story.

In the following seven days starting - today you will be able to follow
the process of twin-supercharging a standard M5 in pictures and
some video shoots.

Next Wednesday (1st feb) we'll be dynoing the finished Beast so
the pace will be quite fast.

I'll be back later tonight (CET) with the first pictures.

Hope you all will enjoy the show !

It's the CA automotive kit, read up on it in the group buy forum. Twin rotrex superchargers same setup as the AA auto kit.

Staying tuned for some pics and narrative... Sounds like a good hp/$ ratio.

Is this open to UK/Euro folks only or does CA Automotive have US operatons?
