Since you live in Essex, give Eurospec a ring about supercharger prices.
 
I didn't get along with the Rotrex set-up I had on my FN2 and got it taken off after 6 weeks. I went cammed NA instead.

Rotrex is very peaky, as being a geared charger it makes more power at higher RPM. It would spin the wheels when you hit 60 in 3rd, especially mid corner, which wasn't ideal.

My graph, pictures speak louder than words:

My NA set-up felt much more drivable, in that you could wring it's neck on a country lane and feel in control:

That being said Rotrex is good for straight line driving or drag racing where you will be keeping high in the revs. For road and circuit days/racing I would have preferred a Jackson Racing Supercharger (JRSC) set-up, as the roots type charger makes more of the torque lower down, so feels more grunty and is more predicable as you rise through the revs, but you won't hit the pub figures of the Rotrex without spending a fair bit of money.

JRSC set-up looks better as well IMHO.
 
I would rather go through the 'hassle' and get it done myself. Someone else's set up might not be your cup of tea, it could be difficult to find one already built to how you would want it.

At least if you get it done yourself you will have a set up that your comfortable and happy with.
 
unless your dead set on the change, id keep the st3 map it an put some goodies on job done. the type r probably aint your cup of tea if you looking for a straight charged one! Never would i buy someone elses setup would always rather tune myself so i know exactly what i want and get
