Default Supercharged A3 in an EM2... feedback??

just curious what everyone thinks about a Supercharged K20A3 in an EM2. Jackson Racing makes one and i would prefer a car with a nice Tq curve and something that will hit 60mph with a quickness

Where does an S/C mount on a k20... front, back, top? It probably wont fit.

beats me.... i just know Jackson Racing makes a Supercharger for the K20A3..... never actually seen a blown EP3. I know that with the Tq Curve that the A3 already has stock... i think the SC would be a great little investment rather than going Turbo for a 0-60 car....

basicly i wanna be able to go on mountain runs and autocross and just be able to pull hard coming out of turns without having to keep my RPMs real high

Jackson is coming out with their new Rotrex S/C and i think that having a tuned A3 w/ the Rotrex and minor bolt-ons.... your looking at a much cheaper setup than a boosted a2 with a hell of a tq curve.... am i right??

It goes on front, good question if it fits or not actually....I've never seen this type of project before, EM2 + Supercharged A3. But the A3 puts nice numbers with a JRSC kit for sure.
