Both procharger and votech are really good, either will do just fine.

It depends on what you're looking for. Turbos provide more mid- to high-range power than the SC, but the SC evens out the whole playing field by adding more power to the low - to high-RPM ranges. And superchargers won't mess with your smog stuff either, but that's more of a problem with people down here in So Cal (like myself) who have the most strict smog regs of all time. Again, it's all preference. Another factor that you may want to consider is the sound that both make. Do you want the whining of the SC, or do you want the turbo spool, wastegate pressure, and blow-off-valve (BOV) sounds? I love the both, but IMO, I would lean more to the SC. It's easier to install, too. You don't have to worry about clearance for the turbo downpipe, the headers being bent the right way to connect to the exhaust housing of the turbo correctly, and all the extra piping that goes along with the turbocharger. Hope this helps...
