Hey! thanks Gary, i found that very interesting, some of which confirms my suspicion
that extra boost doesn't allways make masses of extra HP, you will loose some
HP trying to drive the supercharger at higher boost levels, i've known for a
long time that the M45 is just to small, i had a bigger blower on a Mini Cooper
's' 30yrs ago, its basic engineering knolledge that you need a bigger pump to
safely have a bigger output without the problems that heat gives you, and thats
without belt slip, you need to go to a toothed belt to stop it, in the standard
Sebring setup the supercharger is spinning at 14000 rpm on full boost, i have
no idea what it is spinning at with all the different size pulleys that you
can use, a lot more obviously, and i find it interesting that it was mentioned
that two different tuners may have had differing ideas on set up, one that i
would go with, nice one thanks Gary.
I know of only one M2 in NZ that has a Sebring and he has not had the problems
i hear about, there are installers and installers i guess!

Ray :-)
