....or we could just be polite and answer the question anyway. As far as I can tell, no one makes a supercharger for the 420A. I've done quite a bit of research cause I really want one (wanted one) and even emailed a few companies and no one could even give me leads. Couldn't say about the 4G63 engines cause I don't have one so I didn't look for it, but I'd doubt on that too.

You could go electric, but you could also just flush your money your money down the toilet while dancing a jig.

Some say Thomas Knight used to make them but they were hellishly expensive. I haven't seen anything by them other than an overpriced electric one. I am a bit curious about that, but not enough to do the research myself. Anyone remember, was it a real supercharger or just an electric or is it all just internet rumor?

and with 7500$ budget you could build a dream engine. Go for a turbo kit, better then a supercharger anyhow.

the swap its a waste of money.dont do it it is possible but requires alot its a total different engine you cant do it unless you do alot of fabbing.it be better to put all that money into the 420a and you could kill any of the other stock turbo ones.like some else said with 7,500 you could build an awesome car/dream car or engine.

turbo your eclipse. putting a turbo on is the best way to get a substantial increase in hp without really putting anymore strain on your engine.
