Supercharger installation questions
I was wondering what is involved in adding a supercharger to the N/A 3.2L V6 engines. I know the amount of money involved, I would be better off trading in the car for an AMG as it is but that's not an option right now. Just to satisfy my curiousity and forseeing the headache I'm about to get into, what would need to be done to a bone stock car?
I've got the supercharger donated from a C32. What else would I need? Would the ECU from a C32 work with the engine or will I need to completely re-program the entire ECU? (Are ECUs even swapable?)
Any insight from your experiences and warnnings would be greatly appreciated.

Ecu's are not swappable. The heads on a c32 are different as well. The internals of a c32 motor are designed to handle the high compression of the supercharger. I would suggest you get a kleemann package which is a low boost application. Search the forum as there are many threads on this topic.
