Welcome to NICO. Seeing as you have a frontier it may be easier for you to go SC rather than turbo (given you are V6). That's the short version. The slightly longer version is there absolutely no way it is possible to pass on the type of knowledge required to do something like this via a forum, there are just too many variables.

The sc sucks. It needs some parts to wake it up. Even then it has problems. Or I always have with mine. It's reliable but Damn if it doesn't fall flat on it's face sometimes ESP when it knocks and drops boost

That's not the supercharger's fault, that's a tune issue.

Putting a supercharger on a KA24DE is a big PITA anyway assuming the OP has a 2.4 truck. All we know is the year and model.I suggest searching for topics on turbocharging whatever engine you have.
