jdm how much would it cost to set a vx up with the supercharger kit your talking about?
There's no fixed price yet but it should go for around $3.5K
Update:
Done with the piggy back fuel controller for the VX!!! I'm trying to make a plug and play solution right now with no ECU wire splicing.
3.5k isnt bad... im liking the sound of that lol
Sooo if i come visit ya for a weekend can we get it done : D

Looks like JDM Monkey hasn't been on since Feb. I wonder if he is still playing with his VX. Since I am thinking about doing my own mid mounted turbo kit, I would LOVE to hear some of his details.
AEM FIC piggy-back engine management appears to be powerful enough to give us everything we need!
Some comments about lag, were the original CATs still used on this system? If so, they could have been a MAJOR contributor of this lag! You really shouldn’t have CATs before the turbo! Now, it isn't 100% legal to move it after the turbo ether, but lets face it, most of us will not have to deal with CARB .
While you could get away without an intercooler (under 10 psi), it can still help you! With intercooler, you will be able to ether run lower octane gas and/or run more aggressive timing. So I wouldn't dismiss it "just because you can".
I think that engine management is THE most important part of well executed turbo/supercharger system. I think I will start by installing AEM FIC, wideband O2 sensor and larger injectors, BEFORE I actually install a turbocharger. Learn how to tune it and only then install the turbo, which is actually the easy part of this job .

96 Eclipse Spyder GSX (already turbo, AWD swap)
93 Eagle Summit AWD (4G63 turbo swaps)
I wish I didn't live in Cali sometimes it really bites!!
Sorry guys I've been busy at the shop. Another option would be a Rotrex supercharger set up. It is easy to install and very compact. We have successfully fabricated a kit for a Lexus GS400 and can be easily adapted into the VX. I anticipate the kit for the VX to be around $5800.
Here are some pics to get an idea how the setup looks like:

What about fuel mapping and engine management? Seems to be the biggest bugaboo in my Alpine installation. Maddening.
