I think the superchargers are a lot easier to install. Most turbo set ups can be a pain, but they do work good.

well i probably wouldnt be installing either, so thats not a big issue, its more a bang for the buck sorta deal.

I would install Heads/Cam/Intake 65mm TB, Pro-M MAF, FPR, Injectors, all gaskets, bolts, etc... installed by someone else will probably run you around $3500-$4000. If you H/C/I now, you can always add a power adder down the road - and get even more out of it.

He is right, That is the SMART move to keep it NA. I think a turbo would be cool, but would go over 4000$. That leaves a supercharger. It is all in what you want. Me, I am getting a turbo.
