Anyone use one? ever seen one installed on a mini? Just looking at some other less costly options.

I haven't, but at a guess the G40 is more likely to be better sized for the mini engine.

They are freaking huge. Like a Shorrock, but with more radius. Bonnet bulge for sure. Rubbish as well.
SC12/14 is the way to go.

the G40 is smaller than the G60, its something that we want to look at here.

G40 is 40mm wide. G60 is 60mm wide. They are huge diameters and don't really cut it efficiency wise. Since the going rate is loads, flog it and buy a BINI blower

I'd be interested to se an efficency map for a G-ladder SC. How inefficient can it be, the M45 is 60% at best, which is toliet compared to my turbo which is 78%.

Efficiency of the pump is critical to power output. I gained 15bhp (measured on the same rollers) by using 3psi less boost with a more efficient compressor.
