The "fact" of the last comment, along with the reality that no-one produces
a forced induction kit that does what I want for the 6cyl engines, is why I
embarked on my effort to fit a twin-screw (Lysholm type) positive
displacement compressor onto my E36.  Only difference is that my effort
has now turned into having the end goal of producing and selling
a complete turn-key kit...

Don't underestimate the amount of work, time, and cost to do this though!!!

I could have bought an AA turbo kit and got off much cheaper.  Not to
mention the
1500+ hours I have spent working on it in the last year and a half!!
