Hey Joseph - welcome to FC. I don't want to deter you from turning your Focus into the vehicle you want it to be ... but based on what I've read from others here, a supercharger is a major job and usually requires additional mods to make it an effective one.

You may want to ask yourself a couple of questions before making the investment.

Your car is now 7 model years old with less than a year factory warranty - how long to you plan to own it? Once installed on your car the modifications basically become worthless from a resale point of view, so how long would you need to continue driving the car to make the investment worthwhile.

Have you considered the impact of the mods on an otherwise ageing powertrain and suspension; and are you prepared for the possibility that repairs may not be covered by your warranty?

You may also want to ask yourself what kind of performance you're looking for. Using the money you'd otherwise spend on a sc for your 2000 Focus as a down payment on a new car, you might find you can get the same performance out of the box with a brand new car wrapped around it - and no warranty concerns - a 220 hp V6 Fusion for example if you need an automatic.

I hope I haven't dampened your enthusiasm because that wasn't my intent - and others on here may have a different take on your question - hopefully you'll get the suggestions you're looking for here.

Cheers
