I think you have gone about this in exactly the right way. So many people come on here expect all the answers with no thought on their part. Now you've gone through the process you understand what's going on. so now when it's all built you'll know what to do to improve things.

Thanks for that. I have tried to be scientific about it, and I hope the research will pay off because I feel I understand what the supercharger is doing and how boost is affected by a whole host of factors...

Time will tell - hopefully by next week I'll have the supercharger fitted and ready for the rolling road.

Still got the old crank pulley to remove...any pointers anyone?

remove starter motor put something in the teeth to stop it moving then with a breaker bar undo the pulleys bolt and make sure the retainer clip is out the way

Thanks Blister, cracked it a while ago - lots of soaking in WD40, a few goes with an extended breaker bar, and then removed starter motor, jammed a large flat blade screwdriver in the flywheel to lock it and the crank nut came off no problem.

Started to wonder if the thread on the pulley bolt was left hand thread, but it came off the usual way - anticlockwise (towards the front panel from above)
