Default Pie in the sky question

Has anyone installed a supercharger on their Base or Ltd. coupe that has a 6-speed?

I'm sure the ECU would be less then comfortable with the idea, but I'm thinking a small one that would bring the HP up to 'around' 260hp or less.

If one could use a pigy-back (believe that is the correct term) program that could be adapted to the stock ECU along with - where needed - upping the fuel pressure, injectors, and working out what is needed regarding ignition and knock, perhaps it could be done?

Of course, of course the obvious answer will be to just buy a SRT6 - except I would want to keep my 6-speed (as mentioned) and as silly as it sounds my appearing/disappearing rear spoiler. + I always wanted a car with a supercharger and to be frank, the SRT6 would be a bit much for me.

I'm doubting much anyone will be interested in this idea, along with my never doing it, even if it is 'reasonably' feasible. But when XF's came out and I would see a particular black one parked not too far from my shop/home, it never occurred to me I'd have one of my own.
