First of all, are you sure your turbo is spooling up as fast as it did stock? Might be a waste of resources converting to supercharger if the stock setup will perform just fine. But, I'm also having spooling problems, so I feel you

Unless you have lots of money or can do your own fab, the supercharger will probably be too much work for you. Do a search on superchargers. Lots of info available in this forum. Finding superchargers is not the problem. Getting them to work well is.

I Hate Ricers he got a n/a so no boost for him. if you use your 7 for school why don't you get a civic for now or something like that.

Erm, if he has the equipment and know-how to fab up what's needed for a supercharger, I doubt he's a ricer. And please, just because it was N/A from the factory means you can't add boost later or else you're a ricer? Tell that to the turbo vette/viper/camaro/mustang ect. owners.

I use my 7 for work, school when I have time to sign up for classes (awkward work schedule) and I don't have money for 2 cars, not to mention my house can't have any more cars kept here as we are at the max on the lease. However, I can afford to drive it daily including all upkeep and maintenance, this includes putting premium in an N/A. (Before anyone jumps on me for that last comment, I'm making sure I have nothing but premium in the tank in preparation for my own boosted N/A).

To the thread starter: What mods do you currently have? If you're just looking for a little bit more power, consider doing some porting to one of your spare motors.

HAHA... wow... maybe -I- should read more carefully! Note to self: no more forums before bed.


That completely changes the context of the sentance... mods please delete my earlier post, it has no thread relevance. Guess that includes this one as well .
