From what I've read ..a supercharger adds another 50+hp to a PT Cruiser's 150 factory hp. That's a substantial increase! There are turbos that also increase hp dramatically, too..but you can only take them so far without modifying internal components. Get em up to 250hp or more and I've heard that you're risking breaking something. I've known people who've installed nitrous, and nothing more, mis-dialed the power, and blew thier (4 cylinder) engines sky high. This is mostly from Japanese and import drag racers..but still. I could be wrong, but I think I'd be careful about adding both, a supercharger and nitrous to your PT, without considering stronger internal components. I'd like to hear an opinion on the subject from someone whose tried these systems, too. I would love to supercharge my PT..but for the cost, I wouldn't want to take it so far that it's not going to be reliable.
