This may be a true statement. I would like them to say more about the issue. I'm pretty sure that top mount scenario won't work but maybe in the AVO position?
A low output (6psi or less) electric supercharger doesn't require an intercooler, or lots of extra exhaust plumbing. Crash certifying a similar setup to the Phantom ESC in my car would be cake.
