These motors will take 10 PSI(INTERCOOLED ONLY) all day if maintained properly. Supercharging a vehicle without an intercooler provides heavily diminished returns, high risk, and very high cost per HP. Supercharging without intercooling shouldnt even exist as a concept, it is not worth it and not smart.
$4600 is wayyy steep for a centrifugal + intercooler setup. Thats close to Kenne Bell prices. For another $800 you could get a brand new KB 2.1L Intercooled kit after taxes, shipping and everything. Installation of a 2.1L is easier than most think.

i would get it intercooled when its getting installed and be done with that. I was too anxious and didnt and now I have to pay for the intercooler install and a retune. Its better to just get it alll dont at once
