Re: Supercharger..................................???

1 - Doesn't need to be a manual
2 - "Major" mods needed: Have a metal shop fab up plate to block off your EGR, get the computer adjusted approrpiately. That's the only big difference between the 96-99 and 2000+ Twin Cam motors, the emissions are so low that they didn't need an EGR valve to meet emissions anymore (On that note, random trivia!!!! - The 2.4 Twin Cam is a SLEV, Super-Low Emissions Vehicle. It wasn't that far off from a ULEV, ultra-low emissions vehicle)
3 - Superchargers are more reliable and more consistent across the RPM range, turbos generally have higher output capabilities.

You're not going to have to modify much, but a good rebuild would be smart. And the Supercharger is an E45 Eaton-Type. Not too big, but a good solid size. If you go for a rebuild, then you'd probably be okay with a smaller pulley as well. This will require a flash to the computer, GM techs can do it. Just be sure to break the motor in properly.
