Default Supercharger Thoughts?

I know someone has done this but I want to get overall figure what numbers this car would put down. I had 3 cars with either turbos/supercharger and just love the power/sound. I think this GS has lots of potential. Car is leased but I am just going to buy it at the end as I do love it

OR

Just pony up and get GS-F?

Previous Cars:
CLS55 AMG (550RWHP/600RWTQ)
Audi A6 (Supercharged with Tune/Pulley = 23RWHP/24RWTQ)
X5 5.0i (ECU Tune and DP = 120RWHP/130RWTQ gain)

If u want more power u would be better off getting the GSF. I heard the ECU is hard to crack on these cars and u won't get anything from it.

GSF would be your best bet.

Someone on here tried but had issues w/ the ECU. Look for the thread in the "build threads" section.

I don't recall the details, but it seemed like it ran okay for a few weeks and then started throwing codes and went into limp mode.
