What are your goals? Chances are you're not going to be gaining as much torque with a supercharger. I'de go all turbo all the way.

With the GReddy you won't see gains like you will with HKS, RevHard, PeakBoost or FullRace. Not to mention they still have issues with their e-manage. I like the FullRace kits or the PeakBoost.

I think the HKS and the GReddy kit will probably yield the close to the same numbers. I believe the Greddy comes with a t3/t4 and the HKS comes with a GT28. I heard the GT28 spools faster. Like I said, I like the RevHard, because it comes with everything you need, and the option to upgrade the turbo with your purchase to either a gt30 or a gt35. The RevHard kit includes all you need though from intercooler to injectors and KPro. The FullRace Stage 2 GT is good up to close to 500hp, but is going to run you close to $6k. It all depends on your budget and your goals.

I don't doubt that. 480hp is what the estimate on the site is though with the stage 2 gt. FullRace is definately the way to go IMO if you have no budget. Revhard if you have budget.

HKS is better quality but for the money you're better off getting a Full-Race kit. I mean its around 4700+shipping for a brand new kit with moderate hp potential.

I opted to go SC over Turbo.

My reasons are...

-reliability
-consistent boost
-"sleeper" look

Oh and i have beat my two friends by a few lengths w/ an HKS kit and the GReddy kit.
