Most ppl are doing the rotrex sc with the Kraftwerk kit being not over the top complicated to install and making way more power... it's not a hard decision to make for the money!

I'm kind of fond of the thought of my own setup though knowing everything about it not fond of dishing out 5k on kraft works either

You need to create an intake manifold, create a drive system, and create an intercooler path so that you can safely utilize the Eaton Supercharger, oh and you will need to purchase a FlashPro, fuel injectors, a MAP sensor and a fuel pump... then you have made a one-off kit that likely isn't as good as the Kraftwerks kit mentioned above... and you saved SOME money.

Good luck.

Probably won't save that much money considering he will need to create a drive system and a few other things... all that R&D needs to be accounted for lol

intake manifold has to be modified, pulley system designed. Getting a used supercharger? Get it maintain by replacing bearings, new fluids, new solenoid, the works. The bulk of the work is "designing" the layout for a supercharger that wasn't meant for the car.
