unless one has a serious hookup, you will not be seeing prices like the ones above.. change $150 for piping/flange/mounting brackets to about $500 for a more accurate number. and don't forget engine management.
trust me, DIY turbo will cost you less |

wow, so technically as the cost of living goes up, pay gets cut and layoffs, and we get screwed even more... very nice

I think the mounting brackets would have been cheaper than most things, its just a piece of metal that you could possibly make yourself with rough measurements.. If i were to do turbo(Already have two spare K03's), id just rather buy richards kit anyways for it being the easier thing to do, the supercharger kit requires no welding, and the ARC welder i have sucks and spatter will go everywhere... Plus a supercharged yaris just seems right for some reason... |

getting your pulley to line up perfectly will be an issue, and making a bracket strong enough will be difficult without aluminum.. |

I'm halfway through a Biltz installation right now and the engine compartment is getting very crowded. As Richard said, whatever you throw together had better make sure all your pulleys are lined up and parallel.
From the picture in the original post, you might need to cut a hole in your hood cause that sucker is big! Like largeorangefont said, you need to build a new intake manifold or get Richard to make you one. I don't know what are the major cost drivers in a complete supercharger kit but the compressor is only a part of it.

Thanks for the advice Richard, and its good to hear the MAF would be able to handle it...
I will not be making a new intake manifold just utilizing the stock one with a connecting pipe, the air does not need to be direct as it still holds the same pressure charge.... with an intercooler, it will cut down on bends in the pipe work... but you are right, the mounting will take alot of work if not the most... I have my cardboard and scissor ready ;) But i still have a couple of recirc valves from an S4 and a small intercooler to boot This is pretty much what it will look like, might be ghetto, but a supercharger setup that is cheap, would you argue?

I love this home made stuff-you should see my compound turbo system on my 1987 Sprint-full Mad Max style.

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... |

you tee into the oil pressure sensor already tapped at the block. no one says you have to use AN fittings ;) you don't have to tap the oil pan, use a sandwich adaptor. run the oil coming out of the turbo into your oil cooler and back into the engine turbo: you won't need a wastegate as most small turbos are internally gated which also means you don't need a boost controller you don't need an intercooler on low boost applications and believe me, piping is much easier to fab than a bracket with "rough measurements" to hold a supercharger spinning 4X engine speed. you can use that silicon exhaust hose for the charge air coming out of a turbo too ;) |
