Supercharger
here are my questions of the supercharger kit for the 2003 tiburon Inline-4 cylinder 2.0L engine.
1)why is the pricing the same for the supercharger kit and the turbo kit even though the difference of power is obvious?
2)Why is the supercharger kit set to only 4psi considering Capa sells their Eaton MP45 kit for the same price set to 8psi?
3)The V6 tiburon will come with an "Aqua cooler" for 3300 so will the 4 cylinder be able to get an Aqua cooler for the same price or does it come with an Aqua cooler too?
4)Will there be any power upgrades to the Kit for 4psi is not much if you think about it concidering Eatons mp45 4gen SC makes about a 40 percent increase in power at 7-8psi?

1) The cost is the same to manufacture, which has nothing to do with how much power each generates!
2) The boost is set at 4-psi in the U.S. because of fuel octane available (their's is much higher), and they have no smog restrictions like we do.
3)The 2.0L supercharger kit has no intercooler because of space limitations under the hood.
4) The "upgrades" are in progress, and may be available in 2-to-3 months.

Thankyou for the clearification i can agree with 1 and 2.
I am an ignorant person when it comes to cars however i do not believe that the 2003 tiburon 2.0L lacks space. When i look in the engine bay has a lot of space up front side between the fan and the cat.

The supercharger gets mounted on the intake manifold (which is the other side of the engine). Look how much room between the firewall and the engine (intake manifold), then look at how much room between the top of the intake manifold, and the hood!
See what we're talking about now?

so the aqua cooler or any type of air cooling system would be mounted to the back side of the engine since the manifold is there??? thats what i originally was asking?
