16v supercharged. Couple of questions
I know ade (Lhasa dreams) has done this conversion a d wondering how the belt is run and how many guides ae in place for the belt. Again had a search and found a thread on club gti and only showed a few ideas but nothing in concrete.
My way of doing the while build will be abf (maybe cammed)
G60 management or megasquirt (see what's available at time I'm ready for this bit)
S3 or 20v inlet modified to suit 16v head and 440cc injectors?
Clk230 supercharger (make mounting plate myself)
Anybody see any problems or any advice. Thanks.

I'm not scared of a noisy car it's loud as is (16v carbed but fed up of seeing carbed valvers tbh)
What charger did you use on yours and inlet etc?

The serpentine belts run depends on where you want the alternator to sit, ie like the limited or under the charger. Mine is like the limited. The belt runs from the alternator to the charger, round the water pump, round the G60 tensioner, round the crank pulley and back to the alternator. I recommend that you get a BBM tensioner adjuster, it lets you get the belt tension just spot on and compensates (with the use of washers under it) for different charger pulley sizes.
Don't over cam a supercharged engine, you really don't want overlap to lose boost from.
G60 Digifant is hard on the pocket to modify, you have to rely on places like Jabbasport. Megasquirt is good if you have the time to fiddle. I went with Emerald in the end.
The injectors depend on the power you are trying to achieve. I have 42lb ones, and they are really too big, but I had no choice as the next size down are no longer available in the body size for the BBM fuel rail. Mine generates 230bhp. Digifant does not have the resolution to control injectors of this size, well it does but it is a compromise where Lambda control had to be turned off.
Good luck and lets see some pics !!

Once I get a charger and a block il get a thread up and hopefully do great detail on it

I may ask some silly questions I can't find answers too though

I'm I right in thinking smaller pulley means more boost?
