I thinking along the lines of going direct from the same side through the MAF into the supercharger through a water type intercooler and into the intake. Many supercharger applications have used this configuration with great results. I think the current intercooler has to much plumbing and requires to much spool-up to compress the air through all that plumbing. It almost has a turbo lag feel with all the mass it has to make up. I'm almost think a ram air intake straight into the supercharger and into the intake would yeild better rusults then pressent. But this is my daily driver so I don't know if I can put up with the down time to try it.

I had the pleasure of running with Flip's intake scoop on my car the last 24 hours and the low end throttle response (and engine noise) on my otherwise stock engine was noticeably improved. The good news for coupe owners is that the scoop was a perfect fit and sucks like you wish your girl would!

You all realize that mig888 isn't a shop and that he didn't do this for mass production, right?
He just did this for himself, initially, as a "one-off" mod.

take some initiative like flip did. mad props to people who manuf. their own parts. gives that 'custom' feel. if it was manuf for others, then the original wouldnt be a 'custom' would it?
not hatin, but seems ppl are lookin for bolt-ons rather then puttin in the wrench time on their own.
I know we got some thinkers and gear heads in here...

Now, not to speak on his behalf, but if the w203 owners would fork up 1G per intake, he may actually consider it...
Show me a list of people that would actually pay a good amount of money for mods on the m271 and you'll make a believer in me. Otherwise, I can guarantee that the majority of the people in here wouldn't even pay 1/2 that 1G amount just for an intake!

Not worth the time and effort he would have to put into each intake. He could, but the time he would have to invest is WAYY too much for the little profit he would make off each one.
