I like the simplistic approach to top mounted superchargers like Kenne Bell but their is major heat issues to deal with. They are popular with the Hemi engines for a quick, but expensive, additional horsepower solution. What the advertising doesn't tell you is that detonation from the heat is paramount and damaging. The tuning is set back so much that the horsepower gains are low for the money and the risks are high. Unless the engine is forged and heat issues are controlled, it may be a disappointment and some major damage. I don't think the VQ family of engines are up to the task.
This is why I favor air to air intercoolers when boosting VQ's to help control some of the heat issues.
