What will you be using the car for? Daily driver, weekend cruising, show car, track? I was looking at KBs' but for my use the drivability would suffer too much, so I am going with a centri style. Having all that boost and torque as soon as you step on the pedal can be fun, but in traffic or just cruising around ,it could get old.

Yeah exactly. I would think that a centri style would better suit your needs. If you are normally accelerating at lights, traffic etc. you can stay out of boost and drive fairly normally. But when you get on it the boost kicks in and away you go. You can learn to do the same with the KB, but you always have to pay attention or it will get away from you, and that could be tiring.

The Kenne Bell kit for your car would be a complete kit including intercooler for $5,000.00 .. according to kennebell.net I am also looking into that charger, super sexy sound.
