They have installed and developed a kit for putting a supercharger on a Delorean. This
set up has been dyno tested and published in two articles in DeLorean World a few years
ago.

The supercharger gave about a 20-25% increase in HP. It gave this increase at a lower
RPM than the single turbo set up.. However, the single turbo had up to a 40% increase
in HP at higher RPM.

These test results were before improvements were made in ignition and fuel delivery.

The supercharger would be more fun on the street, while the turbo would be more fun on
the highway.

The cost was in the range of about $5,000.

There are a couple of advanges to the supercharger system compared to the turbo
charger. First, engine bay heat is almost not affected. Turbochargers created alot of
engine bay heat.

The supercharger bolts on without exhaust system changes. (Though you should improve
exhaust flow to get the HP benefits.)

PS. For those of you who live in areas where emissions are not a concern. If you clean
out the catalytic converter you will pick up a noticable improvement in performance.
