Hey guys, so my 04 MCS with 109k on it has had the supercharger death rattle for a while now. As an alternative I've searched up electric water pumps. I read Raven Mockers thread but the people I've called like Way or the guy at autocooper (autoxcooper? he rebuilds the M45) and they both said its an awful idea and will cause tuning problems or the rotors (i think he meant rotor bearings) to run dry if i run the EWP and eliminate the PTO gears.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm lost as I can't afford a new supercharger until tax returns.
