One thing there is only 1 person I know of that successfully put on the FSZE and the engine is mounted on a Ford Probe! The biggest problem w/ the engine is the wire harness!

" supercharge or turbo FSZE .... pratically blow up "
" You could safely put NOS on.. with a 50 shot ".....
is a no no... you get the whole picture wrong.
NOS , supercharge or turbo are all F/I. The basic idea is to put more oxygen into engine.
If you force more oxygen into the engine, you supply more fuel to maintain proper fuel/air ration. Go lean or rich.. neither is good.
Lean = pinging, detonation , knock... engine hate it..
Rich = Too much carbon, poor performance, need frequent oil change.... you hate it.
FSZE is a higher compression ration engine. 10:1 is a very high ratio for F/I. There are always a " F/I in high ratio engine: good or bad" argument in forums everywhere in every forums. Should you turbo a FSZE ? you should ask yourself... what did I need...
FSZE started of with 10:1 In theory... that's mean you need less boost (PSI) to reach your target HP compare to FS03 lower compression ratio... BUT... a higher compression engine need more tuning than lower compression engine... higher compression engine is less "forgiving" when you F/I your engine.
Is a long story to explain "turbo-ing higher or lower compression engine". In my book, if you just wanna 6-9 psi or boost.. I will go for FSZE or higher compression. That will give you around 210-250hp. If you are looking for BIG boost.. like 14psi or so... is recommend to go for 8.5:1 or even 8.0:1 ratio... is more "forgiving" than high compression engine.
Remember these few things:
1. More oxygen need more fuel.
2. Octane in fuel acts like rubbing alcohol... it cool the air down. The more octane.. the more it cool. ( and burn slower )
3. When you compression air... the air get hot. The more you compression.. the hotter it get. ( that's why you want lower compression in turbo + intercooler... less heat !! )
4. Power comes with responsibility.
5. You don't just turbo your car. Good engine with great power need fine tuning !!
I will say.. if you want your turbo your engine...
- if you have FSZE now : do reseach. a lot. built your turbo in correct way... FINE TUNE your car. ( because less forgiving)
- if you have FS03 now: save the money buying FSZE. buy better parts like boost controller and etc. You still need fine tune your engine.
