Let me restate my question:

Why haven't more companies sought to get STC's for turbocharger/supercharger
upgrades?
Is it THAT difficult to get an STC?

It seems to me that every red-blooded pilot would love a reaonably priced
turbo upgrade (in other words, the market demand is there). Automotive
turbochargers/superchargers are extremely inexpensive (by aviation
standards), so it is reasonable to assume that they could be built and
priced relatively cheaply (compared to an engine upgrade, if one even
exists).
So, why can't I easily find these upgrades?

Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360?
In particular, an IO-360-A2B?

It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade.
