I dont think it really matters much hks supercharger kit costs becasue it probly = more than any of us are will to pay, when the cost of a custom jobby will be easily less than half that.
HKS= double to triple for costs in these scenarios.

However maybe because the GS is a more exclusive platform, it might be more? Still I'm sure it won't cost even close to a custom fabricated setup. Check your math when you say HKS is double or triple in cost than a custom job.
I would have to agree with you. I am not familiar with HKS but am familiar with 2 companies that supply superchargers for Mercedes. One is HPS and their set up is approximately $10,000 installed and the other is Kleeman who is truly the creme de la creme and their system is approx. $16,00 installed.
A custom unit would be a roll of the dice in my esatimation, since you are dealing with all of the electronic systems that have to be taken into consideration. Both of the companies I have mentioned have extensive R&D and testing departments that shake out all of the bugs before release.

Wow is that a 180* bend I see? Yeah I bet it would be very expensive. I was thumbing through summit and noticed the 5.0 stang vortech kits are only $2,500 for basically the same thing only no intercooler. Wouldn't that be nice?
