where do you want your power to be and what kinda budget. I believe it would be cheaper to turbo 225whp than SC225whp. if ur a torque lover SC all the way. The forced induction forum would know best though, along with streetwerks and tallkyle and the "experts"

First, off what do you want to do with the car?

Second, where do you want the power to be? (instant or higher up in the RPM range)

Third, are you going to buy a turbo kit or make your own?

Superchargers typically don't make as much power, but they make it fairly instant which can make for some fun power down low.

Turbos typically have higher power numbers but you have to wait for it to spool so your basically looking for the motor to pull you up to a certain RPM where the turbo spools up.

I personally think either would be a ball. A might lean towards a SC knowing that I can't make as much power as a turbo but that my power is right there when I want it.

i want a daily driver with some power, not a lot, i would like to have the power right from the start since its not going down a track but from stop light to stop light...and from reading the write ups on this forum ill probably make my own kit if i was going to go that way
