As @
Tcoat mentioned, times are changing. Fast. It's been noted that every major mfg has electric super/turbo chargers in the manufacturing pipeline as we speak.
Volvo's 2017 twin charged XC90 will be the first to be hybrid Electric Super into Mechanical Super twin charged model. That's 450 bhp from a 2.0L 4 cylinder. An astounding 225 bhp per liter!.

In the aftermarket, we are lucky to have one of the very few engineers working on an ESC integration for the 86 @
Robftss . 2 years ago and for about a total of $2.5k and 2 hours to self-install (and 30 mins to uninstall). I received the 9th Phantom ESC kit for my FR-S. With only 4.5lbs of boost my engine churns out an additional 50 WHP and 80 WTQ in the torque dip than a stock 86. Here's my dyno from this summer with an off the shelf tune on a HOT and humid day. I'm certain that development this winter will show even more output.
223.4 WHP @ 7300 RPM
207.8 WTQ @ 3376 RPM

In the Phantom ESC owner's thread you'll find a couple of 1/4 mi drag slips from very daily driver type cars with nothing too special added besides the Phantom ESC and the correct tune.

Seriously though, check out the build thread on this board for more info. With very few limitations (mostly due to Rob trying to keep the kit price in a sensibly aggressive low place), this is probably the future of F.I. both OEM and aftermarket.

As not to derail this thread from its' original intent, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them in the Phantom ESC thread (which is now at 585 pages, 9900+ posts and over 1 million views!)
