Its a little early but I want to start my research into supercharging/Turbo'ing the elise sometime next year. There are a few kits around that offer different avenues of approach.
Forcefed seems like the best so far. Offering the most horsepower out of a stage one turbo kit. Horsepower: 275 Torque: 200 @ $ 7,450.00
Vision Function Supercharger Kit. Seems pretty decent and is slightly cheaper offering slightly less hp then the Forcefed Horsepower: 245 Torque: 162 @ $6300
Katana Supercharger looks like the cheapest with the smallest gain. Horsepower: 215 Torque: 141
Custom build, select my own parts which in turn could end up cheaper but probably a lot of welding would be involved and finding parts where I wouldn't have to alter the body.
