Default Supercharger question...

Are the m112 superchargers in our jags the same as a'03 mustang m112 supercharger? Are the interchangeable?

No, they do not interchange. They are fairly similar internally, but the case is completely different in mounting and inlet style. I wish they did, there are plenty of ported Cobra Eatons around, but they do not.

That is a damn shame cause look what I found...

Someone(Avos) needs to look into swapping the internals of a tvs for our m112

No, someone needs to buy a TS ;-)

The TVS unit (just like the TS ones) have a different intake design on the SC (and outlet), so you can't use these internals in the older eaton models.

Aye, you can't just swap supercharger internals beause the TVS & Eaton have different inlet port shapes & outlets to match the twist angles of the internal rotors. If the port timing, shape & position is not correctly matched to the rotor shape & twist angle, then you can get a situation where a particular rotor position uncovers both the inlet port & the outlet port at the same time-resulting in the pressurised air built up in the inlet manifold backflowing to the supercharger inlet.
