    personal opinion,like it or hate it but its the cheapest way to go about it with a helluva alot less hassle. just buy a wrecked vehicle thats factory supercharged. you will then have everything you need to have a supercharged vehicle. you can then either keep your old motor & box as a spare or resell to recover your costs. also if you buy a complete vehicle you may get extra bits that you want,think you want or need then sell the rest to get back more of your money. at the end your supercharged vehicle may end up costing you nothing but time. one example,theres a supercharged wh statesman on ebay,minor front end damage,no damage to motor,still drivable(so he reckons) for i think it was $2000. you then have your motor & box,any loom you may need + if you like a full statesman interior to put into your car as well as alot of left overs to sell to get some money back. it still had factory mags,so theres $400,bootlid & garnish another $300,doors etc. if i hae to do a big job on a car,i just go buy a wreck. its always worked out better in the end. last wreck i bought cost me $1200 for a S1 VT auto,minor damage & 6mths rego. didnt end up wrecking it,just stuck a rwc on it drove it for 6 months,then sold it today with no rego or safety cert for $1600. so i got use of a car for free for 6 months as well as an extra $400 in my pocket. so this does work dude

    have you considered buying a SS Inductions VT VX Growler air intake it's a straight bolt on it replaces the standard air box and it makes big gain for the engine to breathe better

    I heard the proper electric superchargers (the $500 aussie made ones) are supposed to be pretty good value for what they are
