BAD made one.They are still in business, I just ordered a 4.08 rear diff for my Q from them.(Had to put it on hold now for a month or two as I now have a rear hit I need to fix first:(..)It's an on again off/again thing for production for the SC right now (hope I am not giving away secrets I am not supposed to fellas).

There are supercharged Q's out there (AGM drives one) but that one was special made rather than from BAD.

Many feel that s/cing all aluminum engines is chancy, but if an all aluminum engines can be successfully supercharged its ours, with it's six bolt main bearings and closed deck construction.

Yes, the miatas are Alum, and I've got a JR Supercharger on a 90 Miata with over 110K mi, no problems. The miata block is just about indestructable, believe me, I've tried.

It makes the car MUCH more fun, can't imagine what the Q would be like with another 75 horses, too much fun.

Supercharging an all-aluminum block is totally ok if you know take several precautions to prevent detonation and run low-boost. Chevy LS1's are all-aluminium and hundreds have been successfully supercharged, some even turbo. If I had money to fork out for a $1,800 supercharger and $1,000 aftercooler and another $800 for stand-alone programmable engine management system, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The M90 from Eaton with the right pulley will give you all you want. If, you've noticed pictures from BAD and others you've seen that the runners from the head to the s/c are different. I think they're actually using ones from other cyclinders. The s/c , chip, pulleys, belts I've found. The cost could be cut by thousands if a group buy was made. Still looking , there's also a group in CA. that will put a s/c on a new Q for you for about $10K. Quoted hp 435 same as what BAD had posted with modified xhaust on a 1st gen Q.......:thumbup

You may have to change the speed dial on your phone if that was the correct number it's now disconnected and i would assume they are out of business.
