So, I bought my celica (1996 GT) 3 months ago. It's a blast to drive and I like it. I want to get a supercharger for it (NO TURBOS OR NOS) strictly supercharger. Any advice? Any suggestions?? Cost?? Mods needed?? Thanks!

I already spent $13,000 on an eagle talon fully built motor with 30 psi potential. It was fully and professionally built with forged pistons, decked block and head, hks cams, big 16g turbo ported and clipped, 750cc injectors, full programmable ecu, fully opened exhaust, everything. It was nasty and very powerful. BUT it cost me lots of cash, I spun all 4 bearings after only 1000 miles into the engine and had to pay another 1700 bucks to repair the crank and bearings, then 1500 miles into it, the tune got knock off somehow (never figured it out though I rigorously tried to pin point everything and anything, found nothing) and then under 22 psi I blew out the head gasket which was a cometic HG with treated studs, fully and correctly torqued, and that's what happened. Lotta cash for short lived project. So I really don't want to turbo...only supercharger (it's more of a bolt on type job and less headache plus I won't have the addiction of more boost leading to more $$ in repairs).
