What about the Cylinder head? Do you know if the crashed Mini still has the Cyliner head?

Thanks for any info

Crap is a natural source of many infections...

Hope this helps.

I'd checked a stocker as well. We don't have the ratio yet for the Works blower....

But at least Helix and my numbers were the same...

The regular MCS supercharger takes 1.8 turns of the pulley to get one complete rotation of the water pump drive. A JCW supercharger boxed at the factory on 3-18-05 takes 1.8 turns of the pulley to get one complete rotation of the water pump drive.

There is no indication of a production split.

Good stuff.

Thanks for the info. So, it appears that, once and for all, the "JCW supercharger" is nothing more than a regular MCS supercharger with a somewhat-smaller pulley and the rotor coating from the current MCS.
