Ok, I am seriously considering bolting on a supercharger to my VG33. Anyone here have any experience with that? I have found a few "donor" motors with the original supercharger from the frontiers. My only worry is that the part list is a mile long and running into problems with the ECU. On paper it seems like it would work with a new tune along with the charger. Any thoughts?

Keep in mind that adding a supercharger will up your gasoline octane requirement as well!

Thanks for all of the info. It sounds like the charger might be more trouble than it's worth. Thanks again for the info.

Do you know who makes the turbo kit? It seems like turbo chargers are a bit more efficient. Thanks.
