To put it short, this is a supercharged wbx, that is going into the rear end of a
Thing. The Supercharger is an Eaton unit, the same as found in the MB SLK 230
Kompressor. He started out with an Oettinger 2,5 wbx, but he is installing the
Supercharger on a stock MV code engine first, because of the development process,
and the fact that the MV has lower compression than the regular DJ 2,1 found in
Europe.

I just wonder how this project is going, as the page has been unchanged for over
18 months now (that's when I first saw it). Is the car finished, the project
scrapped, what?
