That car has a centrifigul supercharger, which is more similar to a turbo in the way it makes boost. It uses a vortech blower, which basically has the compressor side of the turbo being driven by a belt instead of the exhaust gas, so the temperatures it produces are lower than a regular roots type blower.

And the size and mouting location is very different.

Here is what you are looking for...



The design is from the Lotus Exige. If you can figure out how to get it to fit in the RL please let us know.

simple answer on how to make it fit: put it all in the trunk and do a roof scoop!

btw, just as a turbo, a centrifugal supercharger makes most of its power high up in the rev range
