I bought my 06 s type used. The supercharger feels lacking in low end power? It comes "alive" at about 3500rpm, then all hell breaks loose. Is this normal? The torque curve feels more like a turbo charger, and yes, it is a MK I R50 with an inter cooled supercharger.
I'm sure you have a supercharged version though it is the R53 not the R50, there is no lag like a turbo, its designed that way so the car is easy to dive for everyday use yet put your foot down and the power is there when you want it.
