Don,

You would probably have better luck with that inquiry on the SubaruVanagon
List on Yahoo.
The downside to belt driven superchargers vs. exhaust driven turbochargers
is fuel economy.
It cost power to drive that SC.

I have a 2.2 ejt on a 2wd Vanagon. At about 165-170hp, it is more than
adequate and all stock
on the donor car -- 1993 Legacy Special Edition. Typical cost of complete
enegine package
will be half the cost of a new SC.
