people generally don't remember the second fastest anything unless it is
themself...

A turbo for this 1 liter costs LESS new than a used supercharger and a
header is usually simpler than machining up a bunch of pulleys and brackets
and keeping everything lined up and not slipping etc.. It is a simpler
solution in a race car. In a street car with emission controls in might not
be. Thought this started as a new project and wanted to know what size
blower to get for it.. My opinion was none go with a turbo. I didn't see or
save the message that said I have one of this size will it work??
