There was never a production supercharger for the Aurora. The Aurora and Northstar are the same basic engine, Aurora just has a smaller bore (87mm vs 93mm. Both use the same 84mm stroke. The Northstar, of course, now has a supercharged version in the RWD cars, but that version has almost no parts in common with the FWD motors.
