A kit or the supercharge only, as a replacement part?

The title actually doesn't say much. You have a lot to pick from and you didn't say what you are really looking for.

Which is the best one for the money? You have the Lotus one, Sector 111, and BWR. Right now, just have a base model with sports and touring. Looking to make it perform faster.

"Best" one for a low amount of money would be a Katana/BWR kit, with a CharlieX tune.

"Best" one for any amount of money would be a VisionFunction intercooled supercharger kit, using VF tuned CharlieX software.

TurboPhil has a TVS option if you would like the ability to tune it yourself, but it's not intercooled.

Apparently, this is a feature, not a bug. :P

Except it grossly misrepresents VF numbers.

True. Jermaine's dyno got 303WHP for mine, which is admittedly optimistic, but the "real" number is almost certainly in excess of 280WHP.
