if you want tons of power but spend more money and it be way more work then go turbo. if you want simple easy and cheaper power then go supercharger. i dont think i would trust ebay for stuff like that.

Alright Roush, as much as i admire you souping up your car, im going to have to shoot you down. The turbo charger will definately give you mroe hp, if your going for a twin trubo, Massively. If your going to install a Supercharger, Turbo, anything that is basically a high hp "ADDER." I wouldnt do it. I would only do this to a vehicle with less then 10,000 miles. Just thing how much stress this will put on a stock engine...nothing designed for such a power boost. Your rings are a small mettalic "gasket" that are repeatedly beaten on. If you go with anything CHANGE THEM!!!! IF you do get a s/c wich i will be doing in the near future, and if your not to mechanically inclined...but somehow you changed everything and prep'd it for your installation...i would go for something that wouldnt blow the hell out of your drivetrain...something like a ATI porcharger. Don't go with the Tuner Kit because you will have to do basic things like injectors, and a tune on your ECU...Superchip. Now this is all included but you will be able to run 11psi Boost...and going around 250 RWHP, now if you went with the standard procharger....it is extremely easy to install...no cutting of the EGR tube and no poping a hole in the oil pan, and no re-positioning of the a/c canister...just a simple bolt on proceedure. Now with a s/c your Redline for your RPM's will be a smaller limit, due to the fact of the stress on the engine...Just a heads up. If you want to feel the power, and feel the torque kick in..go with a turbo kit or have a custom kit done. You will be able to feel the boost. Just something to think about...I will be geting a s/c later..im going to be putting 3.73's in and a Tlock. Have a fun install and post pics!!!!

People s/c and turbo cars with 50k + and to this day haven't had any problems, and its not a super hard install if you have basic knowledge. I did my entire vortech install in 5hours.
