Yet another Blitz Supercharger Install

[jcboy]

that's so sick. i wish superchargers were a common thing here, as i hate everyone saying Turbo here. personally i think the superchargers are the middle ground for NA and turbo, or best of both worlds.

unfortunately here in the philippines supercharger are soooooo rare, thus maintenance would be a PITA.

good post scott! always been a fan of your work!

You get less gas mileage because the supercharger is always going ( well not always, as the blitz does have a clutch) and a small turbo tuned right can do the same thing a supercharger can but get better gas mileage and more power. It would just cost more. And be more of a hassle.

But Philippines? isn't that the land of dirt cheap labor costs?

Well, commodities and services cost a lot there in the US, but you earn big money too. Here commodities and services are dirt-cheap compared to there, but people earn a looot lower than people there. Although the cost-of-living-to-salary ratio is lower compared to what you have, unfortunately it is still not considered affordable since as non-necessities such as car tuning (as compared to house repair) are charged incredibly high.

FYI, A decent paint "washover" can go as low as $500 including labor and paint and all. a $600 paint job is already superb, an $800 paint job is carshow quality already, probably with pocket change.
