the turbo kit

BUT the supercharger is more "drivable" if that makes any sense

either way, you will be happy with your choice

Turbocharge it. Although a K20R swap would be fun too

The SC would be more driveable and you dont hear of very many SC cars having the kinds of issues that turbos sometimes do. I have been debating how to make more power out of my car for some time, I still havent decided which to do, SC or a swap. If I go f/i it will be SC though.

i personally am buying a supercharger and Kpro for my type S

if you are going to go turbo, GReddy, and full race and SCI motorsports all make excellent kits for the K series motors

keep us updated

Honestly, it depends on how you plan to drive the car. all day every day??? just on weekends? turbo is great. It makes a ton of power. but its not as reliable as NA or supercharger. I was going between supercharger/turbo and now im looking more to NA. If you do supercharger, do the jackson race kit. It makes a good amount of power for the $.(race, not street...although thats a good starting point) Greddys turbo is also very nice and very reliable w/kpro and tuning. personally, i want an a2 swap. Im saving and planning to do in about a year or so. I like the swap idea cause I have an engine I can sell when all is said and done. You dont get any cash back if you do the other options. Honestly do what youll like the best. Have fun.
