Supercharger for dd 2.2

I have a 2006 2.2 l61 sedan. I want to either supercharged or turbocharge it. From what I have read on forums a supercharger would be the way to go. I just want a fun dd to drive. I don't want to go for massive whp numbers or anything like that just something to put a smile on my face. I have no knowledge of either of them just what little I have read from peoples posts.

If I put either of them on what else am I going to have to do, exhaust and other stuff? My car is completely stock atm. Any information wil help a lot thanks

Stock exhaust is 1-5/8" so you will want to do full exhaust

Did you buy a kit? Or did yOu piece your s/c Together? How much did the supercharger and exhaust cost do you remember?

1LowLS's car is *******. I have a 2.2 supercharged sunfire, with a 3.0, and its amid 13 second car. little slower then 1lowLS's. but still super duper uber fun. i would suggest at the least a 2.25 to 2.50 exhaust, and a intake for the blower. its super fun...

i bought most of mine all together, and total with the pulley and aftermarket stuff i bought i only have about 1900 into mine.

So piecing together is cheaper then a lit I see. What does a turbo do to the mpg?

same as blower depending on injectors and your right foot.Both are boost controlled so if cruising your out of boost but injector will play a big role too.I have 60# injectors and running 13psi on stock internals and get anywhere from 20mpg to 32mpg depending on my right foot.

I have 60# injectors and a 3.0 inch pulley running around 14 psi and I get like 26mpg with a mix of highway and stop and go driving. Just depends on how often I decide I wanna hear the whine

Let's be honest here. When you go boosted, your right foot turns into a solid block of lead

obviously my foot will be a little heaverier then it was when it is stock. but does just adding the supercharger do anything to the gas milege? or only because i am going to be driving it differently and more aggressive?
