Yeah, the Japanese companies I think use it as part of marketing, the Mazda Speed Protege has the drawings of how the Turbo setup works and how it goes into the intercooler, but Ford doesn't do that for their Ford line...so clearly the Mazda marketing team doesn't have any ties with Ford directly.

I do agree, that if you can get an intercooler, then DO IT!! But, for a crx with the stock engine, there is not a supercharger kit out that is not roots by design. If you want a intercooler, you go turbo. For me, that wasn't really an option as I REFUSED to have lag at all. :P But thats a different story.

If you have a CRX, you could always swap to an engine that is compatible with the Vortech Supercharger kit with Aftercooler.
As for turbo lag...there is no such thing if you know what you're doing. A B-series engine with a T3/T4 setup would not have much of any lag....or even better, a T25 turbo...instant boost. But yes, supercharger(roots), give great low end power...but high end would be difficult since the design of roots style superchargers does not lend to that.
Besides, Carrol Shelby said it best...If you got lag, you're not driving right...

By the way the thread jacking is actually appreciated in this instance

They sell the intercooled roots blower...but I think you may have to sell your JR setup.
