You could have a "low pressure" G60.  I've looked at the G60 back when racing 
vw's...  That compressor gets some of the worst reviews and measured output 
of any supercharger in the market.  It creates and generates a LOT of heat 
for it's output.  It was designed as a stopgap for the VR6, not as a true 
performance device (similar to my toyota 4runner turbo, it took 2 years for 
Toyota to catch Nissan).  

Bottom Line:  Look elsewhere for a supercharger.  I would tend to agree that 
your basic problem is putting a small inefficient SC on a larger motor.  If I 
can find the map of the G60, I'll forward it to you.  Suffice it to say, you 
are much better off looking elsewhere, technology in SC applications has come 
a long way since the design of the G60.  To answer your question:  Yes, the 
calculations given can be used for all comprex/super/turbo- chargers.
