I made mention to this in another thread, but from the looks of the engine and subframe, it looks as though it will be far easier than adapting the engine for turbocharging. There just simply looks like theres not enough room to fit all the manifolds and intercooler ducting in the engine bay either. With the supercharger, all you would have to do is re-work the intake system and (assuming its a centrifugal-type) find a way to make it fit on the front of the engine to line up with the belts.

Stillen made an EXCELLENT supercharger kit for the 370z (forgot if it uses a VR or a VQ) and I would love to see them do the same for the FA20. And their air-to-water intercooler is very nice too.
