Or the supercharged/turbocharged option,

the supercharger will get you off the line faster than ANY turbo, large or small, and this is complimented by a LARGE turbo that takes over once it has spooled up (because a turbo can generate much higher boost than a supercharger). This is what is happening with a lot of vehicles just now because it gives you the best of both worlds.

Thats the baby - only its an M45 not an M54

i'll give you a clue why i wont sell mines - i paid less than that - in the same condition including postage

Oh and if you want more control you can use a mercedes s/c they have a clutch on them (12v like air con) so you can switch it on and off at will
