I've read posts from a number of years ago regarding a few members who were building low comp turbo engines and fitting superchargers - are there any updates on any of these vehicle?
are they finished, how do they drive, how is reliability?

itd be interesting to learn!

Good question, and timely, too. I went for a short ride-along in a 430rwhp turbo NSX at the weekend. An eye-opener. Brutal acceleration instead of the NA car's OK grunt. Am very tempted to go FI on one of mine. The simplicity of supercharging appeals, but I haven't been in a SCed NSX. Yet. (Paging Silver Surfer!)

(Of course, Prime is chock-full of high horsepower builds.)

I think a couple of SC had issues but were mainly due to bad install by the company who did them. I did mine and it was fine whilst i had it. Amo's building a huge BHP beast that should be done soon and the black mugen turbo is still around. There was another SC but I cant remember where it was.

Both SC'd cars are running fine!
Both are exercised at least fortnighly and attends local runs and meets.
