i'm not to sure about turbos, but as long as you stick with a good name brand supercharger, like vortech, paxton, eaton, this day in age there all good quality. i went with a vortech because the kit was $3000 without the ecu being reflashed and that was about $1000 less then the comppetitors.

http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=174
this link is to the vortech site where they have a little article on how you can get to your 600hp. pushing 8 lbs of boost is safe enough to not have to worry about upgrading your internals and will be an easy install. but don't let me sell you on vortech, thats just the only brand supercharger i've baught and i like them alot

another thing to consider is maybe heads and cams, that could bring you up an extra 100hp with keeping your car n/a. and you won't have to worry about extra wear on your motor or ring blow by. and if you do it yourself it will cost way less

I would put some miles on it to see if your engine is one of the problem engines before I voided my engine warranty.
It seems like most of the guys I've read about that had catastropic engine failures happened with less than 10k miles on them.
Just a thought, but a $6k+ thought.....
