I've heard of 3 supercharger kits "in the works" for the 12v V6; one
from a company that dropped off the face of the planet, to be replaced
with another similarly named company (OK, I'm counting that as two), and
one from PES.  AFAIK, none of them ever delivered, though at least one
got to a point where they had one that they were testing but needed to
"work out some driveability issues."  Never heard from them again. 
Judging by the two biturbo retrofits I've seen for this car, it takes a
lot of work to make this happen, including little computers strapped
everywhere and lots of fake information heading to the car's ECU.
PES did make a 30v supercharger kit, which evidently works pretty well
(never seen one in person though).
