If it was $1-2K less it may be a good option...that or someone is too lazy to do the swap.

there's a few on RS25 running that kit and even fabbing their own. some are even twin-charging(turbo/sc). talk about time bomb on wheels.

i like how they specifically say 'faster than stock wrx'. why not just turbo your motor if you can't do the swap? i'm sure it amounts to the same thing..

yeah superchargers are less efficient than turbos. the fact that it uses pulley power to work rather than exhaust, its actually a waste of energy.
