A lot of guys on here have chosen the X-Charger. If you go to Newtakeoff.com they have install videos there where you can see the process of how to install the X-Charger.

This is a mod, I may be interested in down the road.

Turbo=more efficient and more rwhp at least $1k+ more than almost all superchargers and takes a few more hrs to install (professional difficulty to install)
Supercharger=costs less, less power per psi than a turbo, easier to install (x-charger can be done by rookie level mechanics/weekend warriors I hear)

Both have their ups and downs, main difference is cost and power. For superchargers, get a centri with an intercooler if you want a track/dd car since who knows when the x-charger intercooler will come out and I have seen intercooled centri's on our cars running 12's with a few mods. X-charger for more street fun since it creates max boost at a low psi, but not as great rwhp as centri's b/c it doesn't have an intercooler out yet. Hopefully more can chime in here.

If you want a single turbo you have two options:

Powerhouse Turbo


Forced 4 Turbro

STS makes a twin turbo kit as well.

Forced 4 has turbo kits available? Last I heard/read there was problems with the kit and they stopped production.
