I'm a n00b to all this forced induction stuff. Putting a Downing-Atlanta supercharger kit on my '92 318is next week (Eaton compressor, Roots-type, RR FPR, stock engine mgmt). Any tips for the install or for driving a s/c'd car in general? It'll be a fun project, all my friends want to help because none of them have really done any F/I work before. Got the week off between Christmas and New Years, so I'll be able to take my time and do it "right".

The $2600 beast (plus headlights/suspension/wheels/etc)

Well, it was pretty stock when I bought it, save some ghetto chrome 15" schnitzer replicas, but... the price was right, and the car was solid. Suspension/HIDs/etc was stuff I did "just because"... didn't really need anything. Like that wheel gap??? :D

Won 4 cyl stock at the CCA autocross a few times, but I decided to do suspension (Eiback springs shocks & sways), which bumps me up into 4 cyl modified. So I have a set of 16" r-comps (Toyo RA-1's) that I'm gonna run, and slapping the s/c on. :) Gotta stay competitive with those crazy gutted '02 guys!
