That is the best electric supercharger out there, but if I remember correctly, it would cost you just as much as a regular turbo (the electric SC is the same style as a centifugal I think). It would take a lot of air to fill up those housings. I wonder if the TK SC would be up to the job?

Seems like it was designed as a universal package for cars that don't have anything better available. Since RX-8's have several boost options on the market, it seems like this is unnecessary for us.

Only if there is a way to bypass the intake on the supercharger so we can us the stock intake when not using the supercharger.
BTW you can search "ESC" or "Thomas Knight" and get a huge thread on this subject. We looked at this about 2 years ago.
