You can install the supercharger from stillen. It is about 3200 and can be found on their site. www.stillen.com

A turno is gonna be custom,costly, and time consuming. There are no "direct" kits for now.

Do a search there are about 10 thousand posts about this kind of stuff. Dont bother with the turbo though, Stillen makes a supercharger for the Max for about $3900 so its not going to be cheap. Take Care

I haven't really bought any performance stuff yet but if you do decide to get a supercharger or anything from stillen, try this place, Avalon . They seem to have alot of stillen products but lower the stillen prices.

turbo is more fuel efficent, but you will suffer from the turbo lag..........the super charger eats up gas more, but the power is more consistent......it will prolly cost you around 9K+ to have a custom turbo made for the max............super charger is readily available

9k? My turbo project starts tomorrow. It's not 9K. Mine is coming in at around $3-4K. Check out my thread:

INTERESTING....what do you consider suffer from turbo lag? there is lag, but i hardly consider it suffering....unless the person doesnt know how to size turbos. 9k?? howd you come to that figure?

But how did you come to $9K? I've never seen that number put out by anyone here. $6K is the highest I've seen, that's for unclemax's car, and his stuff is trick.
