Intake done already? How bout exhaust? I know you must have had a custom exhuast fabbed already?? Turbo it! What kind of emissions laws are you under Greg? I would think in arizona you could pretty much throw anything on it you want.

Emissions laws... Well,if the inspectors don't recognize it, and if it passes the sniffer, you're good to go.

No intake, no exhaust... Can't fab up a catback unless I take it to my shop, and it's 2400 miles away. :(

Turbo? Hmmmmm..... Anyone make a kit for the 3.3?

the internals of the SC are beefier then the NA engine. the intakes are completely diffrent as well. The amount of boost it gives is weak and would make the upgrade a complete waste of time. You could how ever do the upgrades to the engine and get a better SC if it were available. I would think if you changed the size of the drive pulley it would up the boost a bit....no?? not a boost guy so ignore me if I am ramblin :pface

Yes, changing boost pulleys on Superchargers changes boost levels. :)As for the internals bit...you might wanna look at upgrading anyway. :pface
