Its pretty much a waste of money unless the only thing you are looking for is low end torque.

I thought about it loooooooong and hard.... I went turbo, nuff said.

With a JRSC I would start out being as fast as a gsr... with a turbo I start out being as fast as a type r (roughly I make these comparisons)...

Now if your 5spd like 99% of people here... the story is much different... you will be MUCH faster period... not just hangin but smoking r's :D

I thought long and hard also, and turbo seemed best and now after the install it is awesome. I have seen and heard to many JRSC horror stories. Also you can add an intercooler to your turbo not to a roots blower. I still need to add an intercooler so my car will be faster when it gets hot out, it is amazing how much faster it is when it is cold. Good Luck. J

Funny that an intercooler drops temps from lets say 250f from the compressor to about 180f once it gets into the intake manifold with a turbo.... these is purely hypothetical but thats the jist of it... Every degree counts :D

that dyno plot is a TUNED ls motor. So just slapping on a jrsc will net you much lower than that.
