Zetec with Eaton M62, not to sure about the pre heated inlet. But space is tight.

Wow that is tight, I'm not too keen on having the charger and inlet right next to the exhaust. That must get stupid hot

Lots of home made fab work on that. Especially the intercooler ends.
The big bonus of running it on the exhaust side is not having to worry about the steering column. Sure it can be diverted but the more joints and
length you add the more vague the steering will end up.
On my striker (when I finally get to fit the M62) I will be fitting it low down on the drivers side. Exhaust side is too hot and just as cramped, no
benefit with my 4age.
Good luck and keep us posted. IF you get cheesed off remember, your living MY dream of SC your kit car so Bloomin' enjoy it!!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Small update, I purchased a griffin inlet plenum but unfortunately it's not going to fit with the supercharger 
The griffin has straight tubes and I need them to be angled upwards to allow enough clearance for the charger.
Does anyone know if the spencer Ashley plenum is straight or angled up?
Here is how the charger will be best mounted (still need to work out how to fix mount it) and also the angle in which the tubes need to go. In these
pictures there is an inlet adaptor plate that was been used previously.

I've just found the old advert for my car and it says that it has a cat converter. How can I identify whether it has or hasn't and would
it be better without. I remember taking the can off a while ago and did weigh a fair bit

Here is a picture of inside the can nearest the engine
And inside the can nearest the tailpipe

That looks like a CAT to me

I thought it might be, is it worth fitting a can without a cat or will it not make too much difference?

Depends if its high flow or not.
It's probably restricting the air slightly. I can't say if you would notice it or not. It is probably making your exhaust quieter which
needs to be considered.

It's been a long time since I started this thread and there has been done change.
My car now runs an m62 supercharger and intercooler. Was recently safely tuned at 226bhp at 7psi and inlet temps sit around 35'c, compared to
the old setup which was around 80'c at 6psi.
I'm currently looking at getting another smaller pulley made for the supercharger to play around with possibly more boost

That's some decent power!
Driving experience should be completely different.
Next stop 12 psi and 270ish horses?

Yeah it's certainly fun.
The smaller pulley will push it a little more
