i would like to say turbo. There are many debates on this topic though. Just search and you will find a crap load of threads on this. Turbo is usually the way to go though!

Turbo > SC = my opinion

Find a shop/tuner that does good work and has the cars or customer cars to prove it. Then take their advice before purchasing anything and it will save yourself a lot of money in the long run.

Also make sure you don't get into FI on your daily driver. I don't care how simple the kit is or how good your tuner is you will be down at times.

Last, make sure you got the funds to throw away. Power is addicting and this is a very expensive hobby to get into.

There's lots of threads on this, I'm sure that you could find some good information (and a lot of bad information) on this by using the search function.

Well you have displacement on your side, so you don't need that large of a turbo. Spool up will be faster, and it will have a larger powerband. With a SC, you'd be limited to low-300's with most setups, and the instant torque you'd get could easily fry tires.

Personally I'd go with a turbo, most likely a 50trim t3/t04e for the street. 400whp on pump gas.
