SuperCharged 5S-FE, Does anyone have this? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Any one have a supercharged 5S-FE? I'm just wondering, because a buddy of mine and I were talking about doing this to my car. All I have to do is get an aftercooler and then we're set. I'd like to know if any one has this set up so that they might be able to tell me about any problems I might incounter. Thanks ya'll.

I've always thought of a turbo to be more of a race use kind of application. The supercharger gives me lower boost and smoother power, instead of a sudden burst around 3500. Don't get me wrong, I love racecars. I had a racecar for a while, but I just sold it. I'm now in college and I need to find that delicate balance between fast and reliable. Wait till I get out, then I'll be building some radical street cars.

There's nothing lower or higher about supercharger boost vs turbocharger boost. 8 psi will always be 8 psi. The difference is what you run at. If you run your supercharger at 8 psi, you'll be putting just as much stress on the engine as running a turbo at 8 psi; however you'll be getting less gains (due to the nature of a supercharger). Now, does the instant power makeup for that? You'll have to decide.
