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.

These things aren't solid facts anyway, they are all opinions.  You can't argue on opinions.  If you want to say something to help me, please write and I will be more than thankful for it.  But if all you want to do is tell me why I should put a turbo on instead of a supercharger, then you can keep your opinions to yourself.

None of that is an opinion, what i've stated are solid facts and I've been careful not to add opinion to it. Opinion would be: a turbo is better

A fact would be that boost is boost, that you will see more gains with a turbo per psi than you will with a supercharger because of the nature of the supercharger sapping hp off the engine to drive the turbine.

Its also a fact that the gains with a supercharger are even, and available from an RPM of 250 to 6000 with the same gains across the powerband, a definite plus that you don't get over a turbocharger.

I'm not recomending a turbo over a supercharger, I'm correcting mistaken claims you've made.

if you still think that a supercharger is the F/I for you, then go for it. But if you make that decision based on incorrect asumptions, you won't be happy.
