VF-E makes a great kit- I had one of their very first.
I found that their kit did not produce the 6.0 psi boost advertised, and I thoroughly tested it at the throttle body, so I used a smaller pulley, which required one other small adjustment that I won't share here to further "trick" the ECU.
The power and performance were addictive.
However, and I am not directly implicating the SC, but my engine exploded while running their SC. Here are a couple of photos of the shrapnel. There were a pair of fist-sized holes punched through the block.
Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
That said, if VF-E were to contact me and offer me a deal on their update kit I would gladly do it again, and would in fact produce a professional quality video of the installation process.

"2. The system was designed to be a direct bolt on upgrade, on
the stock bottom end. It runs a relatively low boost pressure
so there is no need to lower the compression ratio. At roughly
5.5 - 6 psi the dynamic compression is such that it offers a
generous bump in power, without compromising reliability."
You can't just slap a superchager on a high compression NA motor and expect it will all be OK.
OP, if you need more power, sell off your .2 and buy a TT. When all is said and done you'll spend 10-15k more but have s fully sorted a resaleable car.
