A MP90 mounted to the top would be legit. I was wondering if it would be easier to mount a centrifugal supercharger in the spot where the factory A/C compressor or power steering would typically mount...
There is someone who makes these...
Or centrifugal like the tC's...

Centri blower, all the drag with some of the boost. Roots, boost all the time. You can get static boost out of a centri but you need a recirc bov and a blower which will reach the needed cfm at a lower rpm like a V5.
you can put a mag clutch on a roots and map it to only come on above X throttle percent like OEM's do for Mercedes and what not. Like blower off below 20% throttle to preserve cruising MPG.

My concern is with the space. I don't know if it would fit in the engine bay. There is only like 3" between the intake manifold and the rear firewall.
But hell - I already have the standalone EMS - All I need is a supra fuel pump, supra injectors, and the supercharger+belt routing plate.

Put it ontop of the intake manifold. So what it sticks out the bonnet a little...because racecar.

It's illegal to drive without a hood... But my hood is securely in place on the front of my car. Engine lid on the other hand... Well the law doesn't say you can't drive without an engine lid!

Illegal to drive without a hood... Don't tell that to the rat rods. Those 20's and 30's cars are grandfathered in on so much, guess the law doesn't even bother.

Exactly, or get another one and cut out a hole of the super charger and put a scoop over it or a bubble or a box or whatever. BECAUSE RACECAR!

Thats because a hood on a unibody car is intergal to the structure in case of an accident, where a rat rod is a ladder frame so its body isnt. You would know this if you actually took the time to read the law

I knew that. Also in Alabama it is legal to drive without a hood, regardless of the car's body construction.

Sorry for having derailed, everyone. Sorry to hatchy as well, don't want to have ill feelings toward anyone on here. Just how you said what you said, kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
Back on topic, what Bitter suggested would be good. If the supercharger won't fit under the lid, could go with something custom on the lid. A scoop of sorts might actually look good, especially with having the vents already.

Maintenance mode weekend. Replaced front ball joints, tie rod ends, and end links.
The end links that came with my coilovers were too long in the front and made contact with my control arms over bumps. I have been trying to get DGR to replace them on their lifetime warranty for some time now, but they have completely stopped responding to my emails. Never will purchase anything from them ever again. Through trial and error today I found that rear end links from a 2008 Chevy Impala SS are ~1/2" shorter and work perfectly.

I dropped Mr. Two off at Polished Image Detailing on Tuesday to have the clear coat on the wheel lips stripped off and polished up for the Forum Fest show on 6/23. The shop owner working on it took the wheels apart and started polishing them up and decided to take it a couple steps past where we had originally planned on going. He sent the nuts and bolts off to be polished in a tumbler and went ahead and polished the inner barrels of the wheels. On top of all of that he painted my brakes black - because he was bored.
I was supposed to pick up the car this morning, but due to the bolts being off-site the shop owner loaned me his personal truck to drive until they're done... How is that for customer service?
I also picked up some new reproduction MR2 floor mats to replace my haggard ones. Pictures to follow from this weekend at Forum Fest.
If you feel so inclined, you can head over to this link on the Facebooks and like my photo - every 10 likes = 1 extra point during judging. You know you want to give me extra points!

Wheels all polished up and at the NOS Forum Fest today
Got to have a good look at the 5 Axis FR-S. SOOO small sitting next to some Genesis coupes.
It turned into a sh*t show about three hours in when it started pouring rain, high wind, and thunder. After watching someone's E-Z Up fly away and crash into a couple cars we broke my tent down and packed up. A few hours later it cleared up so I ran out and got another shot, as photography in the pouring rain sucks.
