If I were you I'd go turbo. That's just what I think though. And yeah you're going to need larger injectors I'm sure.

supercharger u dont have to change as much stuff, my turbo has blown cv boots, and headgasket, but either way u shude get injectors. turbo u have lagg, supercharger doesnt, but with turbocharging u can push it to unimaginable boosts, if u have the internals and other parts that go hand in hand. have som extra cash either way wen **** starts blowin up.

IS this strictly a dd car, or will you be doing an Auto X or anything. Either way, i'd probably go turbo, but with a moderate size and the right mix of quality parts so you can keep most of your power within the low-end range as opposed to revving above 4000 or 5000 just to feel it start to kick in.

turbo's don't blow cv joints or headgaskets, your careless driving does.

no, even with a highly built motor, you still push it to a unimaginable boost.

WOW, some advice.

Turbo, supercharging any four cylinder is just stupid in my opinion when you have the option to turbo.
