this is what tork tech says
the customer is responsible for these items to complete the kit Terminator Supercharger with pulley and appropriate belt.
Larger fuel injectors to meet what ever HP/TQ level you achieve. We expect most who use this kit will easily achieve 350 to 400 HP, depending upon boost level so TTI suggests at least 39 to 42# injectors.
Upgraded in-tank fuel pump.
Complete intake assembly, such as a throttle body, intake tube, MAFS, and filter.
Custom computer tune
NOTE: Tork Tech can provide most of these items since they would be exactly the same as what we provide in our regular Tuner and Complete kits. For instance we can provide you our injectors, high volume in tank fuel pump, MAFS, and air filter. Contact us for pricing.

It will probably cost you another $2000 at least to get it working. Also the Eaton M112 is not that great of a blower it has a tendency to produce a lot of heat, hence its nickname the Heaton. Terminator guys ditch those things for a reason.
I know a bunch of people that have done the $1500 Supercharger build and ended up with 400+ hp for around $2000. For some more info on that just click the link and read it through.

To put an Eaton (cobra stock blower) onto a 2v GT you need a "torque tek" intake manifold. These run anywhere from 1300-1700 bucks. Add this onto a $500-600 stage 4 port job (to make it all worthwhile) and you are already out over 2k. In my opinion, try piecing together a Centri Supercharger, build your own Vortech kit piece by piece. You should contact either 0949er or SoldierGT or Kerns or MustangMan as they have experience piecing these together. You can find great deals on superchargers to piece together on Corral.net
If you don't want to sell the cobra blower and go the centri supercharger route....you can contact Teej281. He's planning on a Stage 4 Stagmeir ported Eaton build on his car next summer. I would say he is a great resource to get advice from with putting an Eaton on a 2v. whatever choice, good luck.

basically your looking at spending 3-4k on finishing up with the s/c off the cobra or you can spend 2-3k said and done on a used centri setup that is made for a 2v. like mentioned the stock cobra s/c isnt the most efficient setup either. theres a reason you dont see many gt guys running the s/c off the cobra.
