There are a few places that produce the parts to make it work. Pretty sure none of them are sponsors, so I can't post the links, but simple google search should provide you with what you need. The main issue is getting everything to fit. It's going to require a significant amount of hacking up the cowl and possible loss of windshield wipers. I too like the idea, especially if you can get the blower for fairly cheap. I'd say you could do the entire swap, with parts, for around $3,000.

Right I really like the idea there is one for sale local for 500 which seemed like a really good price if I could make it work for alot cheaper than the price of a kit that is ment to work in our cars, forced induction was never in my plans but I seen the supercharger for cheap and the wheels in my head started turning lol

I know of one guy on here who's in the middle of doing exactly what you want to do. I'll see if I can find the thread he posted in and get you his username.

Right on figured it was worth a look into seeing as how cheap the supercharger was but looks like if I feel the need ill just throw a little juice at it
