C20XE Supercharged, anyone done or seen one?

Has anyone seen a supercharger install on a C20XE?

I spotted a few on youtube but none with any info or any fitted to a kit car

What type and size of charger is best?

I`ve been brought up on a healthy diet of turbo charging but know very little about a charged install.

I was looking at buying a C20LET and strapping the charger on there.

Can anyone help at all?

Likely 6psi :-)
Regardless it'll take 5 mins for the wee compressor to pressurize the Tubing , the Intercooler and finally the engine.

So forgive my ignorance as i don`t know anything about superchargers, do they pipe up the same way as a turbo etc?

Apart from the obvious fact that its pulley driven rather than exhaust gasses.

One pipe into plenum chamber, one from air inlet/filter.

What else is to be considered?

I will be using a Mini Supercharger.
