I've been looking into this and yeas it is possible, but you will be looking at big bikkies to get it done... probably in the order of $10+K...

have a look at Capa superchargers for a start.

I have decided to settle with a DTS turbo less the intercooler for mine. Should be able to get it all in and running for about $4K.

It's about 5k using a powerdyne supercharger including all the manifolds, pulleys etc.
Fitting is only about $500
Lots of low down power.

Does TD mean Turbo Diesel? If it has a turbo on it already I would say NO it is not worth it.

It's simple: questions are inherently good. Your questions... not so much

If you want low down grunt you want a screw type blower, the Powerdyne and vortech are centrifical blowers you want a Positive displacement blower that delivers the same volume of air per revolution, centrifical blowers become increasingly ore effective at higher rpm, their boost is fairly linear; you may get 2 psi at 2000 rpm and 10 psi at 6000 rpm whereas a P.D. blower will be closer to 10 psi from 2000 to 6000.
