I don't think you can supercharge a 4 cylinder can you? Because I know on all the V6, V8's, so on, the supercharger bolts up on the intake and runs off the crankshaft... where are you going to bolt a supercharger on a 4 cylinder where it can run offf the crankshaft and still force air into the engine without a V shape engine set up? I would personally like to see that.... turbochargers run off of the exhaust, so you can hook those up on pretty much any engine you can think of. That's why there is one Cobalt SS for a couple years that was a turbocharged version....

alright thanks guys, great to learn something new(kinda). but yeah, the kid is my brother in law and were going through a little quarawl right now, so he was on the phone while i was painting my mufflers. he was talking and started about how he was offered a supercharger from a monte for 100 bucks(hahahahahaha) and its just his immature way of "getting me back". trying to say he can throw a l67 supercharger on a 2.2 eco?? without modding?? yeah dude, okay.
