Check out top gear website for the article on the Litchfield supercharger upgrade kit. Not available here but shows what can be done fairly easily by a noted British speed shop.

dont we only have to remove the supercharger? i dont think they can say anything about the intercooler when it's not really connected to a supercharger you can say it's for looks :p well that's how a friend of mine did it on another car and yeah they probably realise you have FI but they cant say anything they have to inspect the car how it is at that moment.

Even better would be some sort of full engine cover so they don't have to nose into bloody everything!

But on the serious side, still then it's removing and installing the sc over and over again the following years. I'd rather not fiddle with a perfectly good working setup..

To the US peeps over here ; do you have to follow certain regulations when going FI ?
