Having done some extensive googling this morning, it looks like the way to run a positive displacement charger like the M45/M62 is to have the
throttle body before the supercharger, but the jury seems mixed on the need for a bypass valve. The main advantage seems to be reduced fuel
consumption when cruising/idle/low throttle openings.
The original throttle body can be either replaced with an adaptor (piece of plate with a tube welded on etc), or just remove the butterfly for a
locost alternative..but then you need a new throttle body before the supercharger!
Long live RWD...

You should get away with a single TB on the inlet to the supercharger.
Whats the bypass valve for? - Smooth idle?

Reducing pumping losses when you don't need it (read improve fuel economy) - in thats case, not really a problem

My car only does 75mi to the tank!!  I filled it up from almost empty today (only a gallon or so left) and it cost me 23 quid for 99RON.

Hi people of locostbuilders.
New to the site, but looking to hopefully gain some of your guys technical knowledge and maybe lend a hand if i feel knowledgeable enough to do so.
So,i know this is a bit of a thread resurrection but I hate people that repost already covered topics.
Did the bypass regarded question ever have a conclusion?
As both i and a friend a looking into using the Eaton M62 to Supercharge our soon to be bought, TU5JP4 lumps out of the C2 vts's .
Upon reading this thread, i posted a question over to him regarding as to what his thoughts were about the topic, and we went through the pro's
and cons.
but it's the same bypass issue that would crop up..
Any thoughts,suggestions or questions around final specs if required please post them up..
Thanks
Marc
