    yeah, What CadetLee said.
    Youre going to have some problem putting in the supercharger. First is the fitment problem. You wont have enough clearance between the supercharger and the hood. So unless you like a hump on your hood, i suggest you return it. I don't know what you could do about the engine and ecu though.

    Honestly in the grand scheme of things it would be easier for you to turbo. Probably be more productive for you as well. :)

    oh ya for sure. Turbo would be easiler.

    and instead of changing 4-5 things to try to make something fit

    just go custom. much easiler, and less costly =)

    not actually. now if i was going to swap out my engine for a newer 1zz, yes that wouldnt be worth it. but, i am lookin at spending less than a grand.......and yes, i know how much a s/c cost, but if a certain person knows where to get one for a super low price, then it would be worth it....plus do u know of anyone with a s/c 98 rolla? not tryin to be a jerk or anything, just tryin to think outside the box. (man i hate that sayin)

    There is no way that you are going to get a supercharger, fuel management, all the hoses, and all the other stuff that you need for less than a grand. That is a cool thought, but a thought isn't going to give you any boost. I was hoping to do my turbo for about 1500, but , then I decided to not have a piece of junk system. I could have not gone with alot of things like rebuilding the turbo, intercooler, ect. and then there are the small things like silicone couplers instead of rubber, and t-clamps instead of worm-gear clamps
