Crazy Question of the day.

What intake manifold would you use? The main part of the Blitz kit is that piece, besides the blower.

That's the main challenge, and lining up the pulley. The slower it turns, the less boost it makes, obviously.

True with regards to the manifold but I managed to shoehorn a 22R into my '80 Vanagon. I put a highly modified Chevy 2-core radiator on the roof along with a t25 turbo and a Holley 750 to pull through. Just looking to try something a little different. The pulley alignment is about the only thing i'll have to work especially hard to get right.

In my opinion, fabrication is the most satisfying part of building a cool car. Any wrench turner can bolt on a bunch of store bought parts but it takes skill and imagination to put together a 290whp (powered by Toyota) VW Vanagon. I just like one-offs. There's nothing like popping the hood on an otherwise normal looking car and seeing a custom setup that only exists right there.

I'm guessing the simple math would be supercharger displacement per revolution should be factored to just exceed (or greatly exceed) the engine displacement for every 2 revolutions (1:2 would be basically putting the engine at 0 vac and 0 boost from what I gather). Just putting all this out here so I can get some meaningful commentary.
