The little Tim Allen demon whispers in my ear: "More Power!" but the reality is that the SC comes into play only moments per hour of use and even with boost the Vibe is far from fast, whereas most of the "A choice" mods are visible/functional 100% of the time...

Acceleration IS a drug, once sampled, that has a powerful addictive effect: Too much is never enough!

I am going to pass on the supercharger idea and stick with the other mods. My intiution is telling me to go this direction. See my sig for a list of mods I will be doing in the next 3 months.Brian

For the price, and the power, a good turbo would be better, but turbo and supercharger are not recommended on the AWD. Now I do know a few members did successfully install a supercharger on the AWD Vibes, a turbo though... no clue.
