Hi everyone,

If going with an intake boosting system, everything I've heard so far is for using turbos.  Has anyone ever used a supercharger?  I can't help but think that a supercharger would be a) more rugged b) easier/simpler to install and c) lighter weight (for the whole install) compared to a turbo.  I also know that your efficiency is going to be down compared to a turbo. 

What I was thinking was using something like this:  http://www.procharger.com/pdf/C-1.pdf  <--- beware it's a 3MB file.

Thoughts?
