2003 porsche 996 turbo
why not run a rear mount turbo to push the s/c? its already done on the xfire. or do like rcompart did and drop a 5.5 litre s.c sl55 engine in the bay!!
theres also a xfire guy who built a rotrex s/c unit for his n/a car. shouldnt be to hard to adapt that type of set up

R170 99SLK230 + SLK32
i found a s55 supercharger with intercooler and intake manifolds for $1k. Might be worth a shot if someone wants to take the plunge.

I can see a couple of challenges here.
1) from what I can measure (from photos) the larger SC is about 50mm longer in the main body/rotors.
2) the front gearbox for the SC sits out much further.
I once was thinking if the front box could be swapped for the old box - you could possibly get that pulley alignment issue sorted.
Needs some work - but you'd get more air.
There is so little dependable info on either supercharger and their performance curve, that predicted performance is difficult.
