Its interesting since I heard that Thomas Knight used to be an engineer at Garrett until he moved to S. Florida to start his own company and has been doing a bunch of crazy R&D on his own.

Boost isn't cheap. Any shortcuts usually aren't worth the effort.

Believe it or not, I've actually seen one of these installed on a G35 sedan. On g35driver, dirtysouthg35, had one installed on his car. This was back in 2005 when the Florida G35 Club had a meet at DeLeon Springs (ahh...the good old days of the FGC). He has since moved on to the turbonetics kit. Here are some pics. The supercharger was powered by optima batteries hidden behind a fake sub woofer box! It was definitely something out of the ordinary and drew lots of stares. I do not know how it felt as I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get a test ride.

I would not waste your time/money. Go big or go home applies here, even if going big is just a base sc kit.

Plus you have to question a site where they can not get drop down menus to function correctly and include marketing text such as:
"Of course not, dear" you reply.

"Good", she says, "because if you're going to spend $2000 on your car, then you'd better have enough to buy me that $1500 blah blah blah ..." With a few years of marriage under your belt, you aren't really paying attention at this point, but you're well-trained enough to know that...
