• I'm considering adding this little blower to a 1.6 NA motor. Just to run it at low boost (3-4) pressure to add power for climbing up hills. Has it been done before or is turbo the easy button

• turbo would be SO much easier and cheaper as parts are readily available. How do you plan to mount and spin that supercharger. 3-4psi won't even be noticeable.
  
  I just slapped a turbo on my NA and went straight to 15psi.
  
  It's not like a gasser where ANYTHING above vacuum is awesome.
  
  Oh yeah...great to see another person from GA posting!

• a turbo will be better for hill climbing because it supplies more power and boost at lower rpms, it also spools the turbo more under load

• a supercharger would be sweet, but a turbo is definitely the easy button..
  
  theres really not enough real estate for a supercharger, let alone a reliable way to drive one.. the crank nose on a 1.6 and AAZ are both weak..
