That sound is priceless

I think this is a screw type sc, some of them tend to "whine" like a turbo. And it also sounds like it has a BOV, which is ideal if you want that beast to maintain a longer life span.

is this mirages?

[aorman11]

@WingZero1181 i think it has two BOVs haha

[autbond]

Sounds absolutely AMAZING! The only thing that would sound better is an HPF e90 or one of these blowers on an e60 m5!

It's centrifugal, the reason being most likely is cause it's a pain in the ass to make a twin screw ss for cars with ITB's, pretty much all if not all of the superchargers for the M cars are centrifugal. ESS tuning made one for the e46 M3 but opted to not sell it.

@WingZero1181 i asked he said it was a centrifugal supercharger

[pagani20]

@pagani20 now that i saw a clearer pic of it i really cant tell what type of supercharger it is because, screw superchargers are usually mounted on top of the engine and this one is mounted on the side more like a centrifugal but it does not look like a turbo like a centrifugal supercharger does. they are leaking lots of info about it though they said it would have between 470-540 rwhp and would cost 12 -15k. i asked about what type of supercharger it is ill let you know when they respond.

[WingZero1181]

@pagani20 I'll definitely check it out! I'd personally prefer the centrifugal over screw type. Saves a lot on gas.

@WingZero1181 there is a pic of it on fb it looks like a centrifugal supercharger and yes it appears to have a BOV as well.

active autowerke usually uses a centrifugal type supercharger. also, you wouldn't hear the bypass valve on a twin screw setup. so i think its centrifugal.
