Supercharger for the V6 12V:opinions (also MF2)

[Elliott Potter]

I've seen two people do it.  It's a huge amount of work, and involves a
lot of custom stuff (including little piggyback ECU's strapped
everywhere) but when it's done it evidently runs pretty well.  The 2.7
biturbo is really a better idea, and if I had the money I would get a
'95 90q and drop the 2.7bt + transmission in it, then do RS2
suspension/brakes/etc.
