It would great if we could be more supportive and stop telling people to sell their car and buy something else eveytime. There is a lot of cool things going on out there that can drastically improve a n/a car. I have already seen mercedes with rear mounted turbo's and Rotrax superchargers. What these guys have done will transfer to the na Crossfire. Cost? Cost can be very reasonable. My V8 Crossfire cost $4000 and will cost closer to $3,000 after selling the extra V6. Based on what I learned, I now I could do it again for $2,000. My next step will be forced induction V8. Here is a video of a CLK430 with a rear mounted turbo which is right on subject:
