Heard back from Sean @ vf to acknowledge the message.
Just to be precise, let me clarify based on his reponse that we are talking about a "supercharger", not a "turbo". They do not develop turbos for BMWs.
A supercharger is still forced induction but powered by the crankshaft, not an exhaust turbine (turbo). See edit and wikipedia link on first post.
Frankly, I did not know the difference before and equated turbo to forced induction. Silly me.
I am glad I learned something today!!!! Sean, if you read this, thanks a bunch. I may be a bit better with jet engines.
Stay tuned. Will see what comes out of this.
