oil lines/coolant lines/AN Fittings/Having to tape the block/pan/Wastegates/Boost Controllers/Intercooler/ More Custom Pipe work/etc....

Supercharging is based off the intake side, which means i do not need to do pipework, just making flanges with pipes.

There is a perfectly substitutable flex pipe in the marine world that holds up to70psi of boost and has good flow. Albeit it being Orange(maybe wrap it with electrical tape or some crap, variety of colors now), it is still somewhat pricey, but i think it will save tons on costs versus piping. If it could withstand the hotside of a turbo, i would've did that, but almost all silicone/rubber melts at those degrees...

And it is not like i am trying to build a monster here, the supercharger with a reduced pulley can make some good power... If i were trying to make a drag monster/track warrior... I would not keep this engine at all unless i had about 10k to throw into internals...
