ok guys i have installed a 1ggze blower on my e46 2001 2.0L bmw. Im running bout 6psi and have a front mount intercooler installed,bosch by pass valve fitted, the throttle is after the blower! Now i have been having some problems the supercharger has been putting my auto/steptronic in limp mode, does any one know why this could be or potentiol causes?
Secondly latly my supercharger has a slight rattle what could it be?
Im seriously considering swapping it out for a centrifigul vortech setup could be a better option as im having alot of problems running the 1ggze blower! Any help guys would be appreciated!

He says he's installed a 1G-GZE blower, not a 1G-GZE engine!
We can only guess why your auto is going into limp mode. Have you read the error codes? That would be the logical place to start.
As for your supercharger rattle, maybe it's fux0red from running under load all the time, which it was never designed to do. Installing a vortech centrifugal blower is the way to go if you want to run your blower pre-throttle; it's not a good idea to run PD blowers like that.

this is common problem
i have run across this at a workshop
the bmw ecu does not understand boost pressure
it only understands vacuum which is what the factory
ecu ran
did u think u can just bolt of supercharger and everything will be fine
so many people dont look into these conversions properly
did u expect the factory bmw ecu to be tuned for the supercharger
if u are in sydney u can goto peak performance and they might be able to remap yr ecu to suit the supercharger
the ecu is goin into limp mode due to boost and the way bmw ecus work they stop the auto from changing properly
unplug battery for awhile then plug iut back on
this will reset ecu and drive it but try not to hit boost
until u get it tuned
