Power upgrade

Anyone here custom build their own turbocharger or supercharger setup on their car?

There are NOS PES G2 supercharger kits still floating about forums ebay and FB

Botang who is sometimes lurking on here has fitted a supercharger on his D2 S8 a few years ago, he brought it to the Xmas meet at the Leopard Inn one year to show us. . . the only issue seems to be overheating of the engine bay which can then affect the aluminium if it gets too bad . . . but I know that Vince one of our German owner friends has similar issues with a home made twin turbo set up. . . .

Overheating....interesting. What's the best way to combat that besides cutting holes in the hood and adding hood vents? Would this be enough to reduce the overheating problem?

Wheeler Dealers did a ceramic coating on an exhaust (and possibly headers) some time ago, and it was supposed to help performance as well as help reduce engine bay heat.

Someone put a C5 RS6 engine in an S8 some years ago, seem to remember heat was an issue then too.
