there is only one supercharger for the vibe/matrix it was put out by trd.They no longer make it so your really only option is to find a used one.Start searching if you really want to learn... read... then read some more

People have installed Nitrous and Turbo's on Vibes and had success. There is only 1 S/C for the Vibe and that was the TRD.

i figured it would be something like that, i just am trying to get to know the vibe and stuff, i think imma start with easy stuff like painting the motor stuff and inside components and i am planning on having a sick *** sound system soon here, as well as aftermarket fog lights, oh and abot these foglights, can i rig it so that circular ones wil fit? is that what most people do?

You can buy a complete turbo kit for the Vibe for the price of the Supercharger. Much more power gains and I would do it if I could do over. Don't get me wrong I love my SC but in the quest for more power the turbo should have been my choice.

My advice would be to buy a faster car already,instead of spending all that money to be let down.Take it from a guy who's spent thousands on his ride.

This is very true. I had a base vibe and had a bunch of intake bolt ons... once I got the ms3 it was like..wow the vibe would of never been able to have this much power. It may suck waiting but man is a FI car amazing and if its a stock fi car its reliable, usually.
