There are supercharger kits that sell for around 3-4 grand and make your R18 have about the same HP as an Si's K20. You think a legit company can survive selling a kit for close to $4000 and you still need to install and tune, so basically "chip" the ecu after anyway?

Regardless of legality, no chip is gonna actually add the ~60hp difference to your car.

Yeah i dont wanna drop that kinda money into right now but i wanted a little more performance. Im hoping to learn enough and save enough to swap/rebuild the engine in a year

I'm not saying drop 4 grand on your car, I'm saying the chip is a waste of money and won't actually do anything to your car other than maybe make it less fuel efficient.
