Default Cheap chinese superchargers?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cheap Chinese turbochargers, but are there similar cheap Chinese superchargers?

Not that I have seen, but I also haven't searched for them. Sometimes you get what you paid for, and for something like a supercharger, I think it's better to buy a quality piece. Would you buy a cheap knock-off cylinder head or camshaft?

Look around for a used Procharger or whatever brand you want, and have it serviced by the maker and you'll be in a better situation than looking for the cheapest alternative.

Just my thought.

Superchargers would be a much smaller market, so maybe less interest. Turbo's are a huge market by comparison.

Although lets face it, many use their intercoolers, many now use their turbos, and the piping kits available really are dirt cheap.

They arent perfect, they arent, but they are bloody cheap and a lot of the time quite adequate to get started
