i would suggest learning about your vehicle first, to want to go turbo or supercharge because you heard from a dude it is the way to go fast, no offence, but it shows you dont know as much as you would want to. You dont just bolt crap on, and then bam, you have a rocket ship. If you dont do things the right way, maintain the right way, and buy the right things, your engine can blow up very very easy.

find out what a turbo does, how it works, and how a supercharger works, and then decide which one you want, also, find out how much more crap you are going to need too.

just a word of advice man, blowing engines up sucks, if it is yours.

you're going to have to do A LOT of research before starting a project like this. Each is going to require a better fuel system, upgraded clutch, and tons and tons of other stuff. Expect to spend close to 3g for either setup for it to be reliable.

Search. This has been covered countless times, and it seems like you need to research things MUCH more before making a drastic modification like FI.

Or you could drop a rotary in instead

no u dont need to spend 3gs they are just lying to you... on the bottom of this page you can get a supercharger for $69.95 just click on the link

jk
well if your running a type SH have fun cause its not gonna be as easy to turbo as a base lude, superchargers are supposed to be less maintenance than turbos but everyone argues over it all so just do a search and pick a side =P
oh and btw if you want ALOT of power turbo is the way to go, ive hardly seen any jrsc dynos go past 210-230 whp but if your just gonna be cruisin around and not bustin some need for speed underground stunts then 230whp is more than enough

or you could always go cheap and buy nitrous... which will run u around 500 bucks for around 60 extra hp, ZEX is the safest kit to get if your gonna take that route
