Re: supercharger on gsx
Welcome to AF.
Why would you want to put a supercharger on a car that is already turbocharged? They do the exact same thing, force more air into the motor they just operate a little differently. Would you be trying to use both the supercharger and turbo or are you planning on taking the turbo off?

Re: supercharger on gsx
IIRC, Superchargers are better for low end hp and RPMs...like Mustangs where as Turbochargers are better for high end hp and RPMs like our Eclipses.
EDIT: On top of that, SCs are belt driven which means less hp.

Re: supercharger on gsx
Do they even make superchanger kits for DSM's? I have never seen one advertised anywhere. The 3gs I have. But then again those aren't even DSM's.
