Having worked on and driven a twincharged DSM, I will tell you right now, up front, before you blow an incredible amount of time and money learning things the hard way, there is no kit out there and - even if there was - you wouldn't want it, because it will be designed to be a stand alone installation.

Seriously, do you want to have anything from an outfit known around the automotive community as selling half-assed crap as part of your one-off build? What's the point of that? Supercharging a 2GNT isn't hard, it's just that everyone wants the easy way out - off the shelf so they don't have to actually know what the fuck they're doing.

That's the worst kind of tuner, man. Nobody likes those choads who just spend their way to the top. It's why SRT4 owners with MOPAR STAGE WHATEVER and half the guys out there with 400hp Evos get no respect. They don't install their own parts. They don't tune their own cars. They're pretentious fuckwits who don't appreciate what it takes to truly build a performance vehicle. They don't know the half of it.

How are you going to plumb this system? Are you going to use dual stage inter/aftercooling? Water to air considerations? All these decisions factor into HOW the supercharger will be installed.

If you're going to really go through with this, you want to do it right, which means you don't buy some kit from some guy just because he's the only guy you can find out there who offers a supercharger kit for the platform.

I've seen Ray's twincharged Talon go through numerous designs and been there in the middle of the desert in the middle of the night when we're having to crazy clue things together so the car will make any boost at all. Now he's making more than 500lb-ft across the board and having to design his own clutch because he doesn't want to spend thousands on some twin disk that he'll just grease anyway.

You don't put a project of this nature in someone else's hands unless that person has a proven track record of specializing in those concepts. And, in case this still doesn't make sense, Thomas Knight does NOT have the track record to support his involvement - on any level - in your project.
