Stock internals will do alright to a point (duh). And the Aussie 3S-GEs are about as potent as a limp weiner, they only run about 9:1 compression (maybe more for 2nd gen in SW20)
Superchargers don't produce nearly the same amount of heat as a turbocharger, but they also don't produce the same amount of boost, which means that they are more reliable, but perhaps not quie as exciting as a turbo.

Also note that there are turbo kits out there that don't require internal modification.

You can grab a copper head gasket from ridgecrest and get it made to about 2mm thickness which will decrease the compression ratio a small amount, and also won't blow under the extra pressure in the combustion chamber supplied by the supercharger, this is probably the only "modification" that you'd need.

I reckon you could probably get about 8-10psi boost if you engineered everything well enough and it would run very reliably.

As for the kit, I have no idea Smile
