Lorinser has one...

...but it's gonna cost you something like $10-15K!

Click here. It also requires 98 octane fuel (that's in ROZ, I don't know how to convert that to RON or MON)

There will have to be adjustments made to the compression ratio in the engine, namely, a reduction.

Also, the addition of a supercharger means that the engine will be more at a risk for detonation (hence the need for higher octane fuel). The engine knock sensors may or may not be up to the task, but if they are, the fuel mapping and timing adjustment parameters buried in the ECU will have to be modified as well.

This is not a conversion for the timid!!
