Anyone add a supercharger to their car?

I too am in the market to add a new level of excitement into the engine bay, I hope to have the shiny metal installed very soon. As you stated "search & research" these are key factors I agree upon, do your homework religiously (it's taken me several months) and these efforts will help you from making costly mistakes. IMO, it's imperative tho you test drive the tuner's vehicles, the only way you can satisfy your quench for thirst of power is hands on seat-time! I've tested the rivaling companies; Kleemann, HPS (bolt-on & new intake system), and the Vortech, all provided impressive power delivery. But beyond the HP & TQ agenda comes critical aspects to my liking such as, proper customer service, convenience, cost, installation facility...man the list just goes on!
Good Luck on your venture and keep me posted with your results.
PM me if I can be of help.

Will keep you posted. I more than likely won't do anything this year but planning to do something by next spring. You hit many good points (customer
service, cost and installation facility) needing to be weighed in.

I have a 2000 C280.
