I found this on Overboost.com. Based on the comment next to it, I *think* it is the intercooler.



Here is the article:

The Supercharger looks alot like a ROTREX unit. The ROTREX is a supercharger that uses different turbo compressor wheels and housings bolted on to the stepup gears and usually has a clutch in the pulley so it only draws power when the boost is desired(like an A/C compressor). I like the way the setup looks, the only real down side is going to be poor low end TQ like other centrifical setups.
Here's a Web page that has them. It's pretty common in europe but the only people in the US that use it is active autowerks with BMWs and some small shops.

HKS has always been known to create off-the-wall high horsepower set-ups. If the 500+HP rumor is true, I wouldn't be suprised.
As for the CF hatch, I have seen it for $3800 on Bulletproof's site in dry carbon.
I personally would get it if I could get a better deal on the price...maybe sub $3K.
CF doors alone would cost approx $5k.
