Alpine Developments S/C is the only supercharger made for the Elantra. Ripp also makes S/C's but its mainly for the Tibby.

also note that they are both different superchagers:

ripp is centrifugal (belt driven turbo)
and alpine replaces the IM, I tend to forget the name of that kind of SC, but it's the Eaton one, same as the one in the stock Cobalt SS.

Alpine is a Roots blower, the Ripp setup will not work as it is designed for the V6 not the I-4 Tib. Your S/C options are Alpine or custom, so basically your options are Alpine.

something like RIPP COULD work, but it would be difficult. basically, it mounts infront of the engine, and has a shaft that goes from the belt to the SC, and a intake pipe from the SC to the TB. you would have to figure out some way to mount something like the RIPP in an I4, and mount it in a way for the belts to line up w/ the pulley. something like the alpine V6 sc would not work b/c it replaced the whole IM, and i4 does not = v6. if you want to try some customization, see about getting a RIPP and finding a way to mount it in an i4 engine bay
