4 cylinder superturbo build on the cheap:

Piston squirters from a 5cyl
Intercooled Supercharger
4BT Bosch VE Injector Pump, possibly with governor from VW pump
"custom" injector lines

And thats all folks.

Any reason this can't/won't/shouldn't work? I know the major snag will be sticking the IP on the engine, but I'm quite sure that with the correct interface, this can be accomplished. What worries me is the cam. Is the NA cam in the 2.4L any good for a high-power forced induction configuration? If ~200hp could be extracted from this engine (should be no big deal with that IP), that would hands-down beat the 5cyl at ~200hp due to the reduced weight... see where I'm going with this? Anyone on the east coast got a 240D engine theyd like to part with?

EDIT: This is meant to be a brainstorm thread, to try to weed out snags before metal meets metal, thereby cutting costs in the long run.
