It is not a trivial process... 
The Sprintex supercharger is not produced anymore. There is a copy from Opcon Autorotor in Sweden which is quite expensive.
Furthermore, there are extra considerations, like engine internals, cooling, clutch, gearbox, etc.
We shall have a feature on www.alfasud.net about super-/turbocharging boxer engines in a future issue. Should anyone have any data or actual experience, please contact me.

This is not a supercharger. It is an air vent that puts a 'T' in the inlet air, to try and venturi some more air in. All it does is lean of the mixture a little to get the claimed MPG benefits, and swirl the air fuel mix to get better blending. It will do bugger all to performance really, and I would be interested to see scientifically produced before and after power runs to prove there claims.
Anyway, it would only fit on S3 i.e. cars with single inlet, for twin carbed or quad injectors (16V) you would need 4, and even they say in there smallprint it won't work.
