Thjere's a guy on here, Douglas Vincent, who has a mercedes supercharger hooked up to his 2.2 N/A motor. He did everything himself, though.

If you want one, be prepared to do some work. Easy to do, but not if you don't know one end of the wrench from the screwdriver part attached to the widget.

Goodly bit of custom fabrication.

I believe doug had to fab up a mounting plate, all the tubing for it, and a crank pulley for the s/c belt. He used an AWIC from a japanese Legacy Turbo to cool the charge.
