I've heard nothing but positives concerning supercharging.
Everyone reports huge increases in hp, that's for sure. I haven't heard of any cases of s/c systems causing problems with engines, either.

Yup, kicking around the idea too, instead of upgrading the Porsche from a 2003 to a 2005/2006, I was thinking about just supercharging, maybe try CAI and Plenum first to see what type of gains I get out of it. Then the daddy of them all the SC. Dyno's before and after for each.
What should one expect to pay when getting the SC installed?

If my motor is still this solid when the warranty is up, I'll drop one in (January 2010), but I definitely prefer the design, cooling and oiling setup of the VF Engineering kit (vortech v2 centrifugal) over the TPC kit. VF originally had an exclusive marketing relationship with EVOMS but it has expired and is now available directly from VF and from resellers. It seems to truly bolt on. Redridge on this forum has one and from what I've read seems to really love it.

i don't think anythings required per se, but you'll wind up doing something while you're in there, modder's nature

Our cars are a little different from a stock 3 series BMW so I doubt we need a lot of upgrade on our brakes unless we are tracking. Does anyone know the limits to the stock clutch?
I planned to upgrade my exhaust and clutch before or during the SC install when/if I do it

(only the blower is Vortech, the whole kit is from a separate firm called VF Engineering)
I wish vortech had a direct solution, would be half the money.
