Figure out a budget. Figure out a goal, whether it's hp, 1/4 mile time, whatever, and work towards it.

Random people throwing out random suggestions when nobody has any idea of your capabilities with a wrench does no one any good, you especially.

if you want peak hp, then turbo.
if you want broad torque and nice powerband but not as much peak power, then supercharger.

Since its your DD go with the SC. It'll be just as reliable as it is now but with more power.

Turbo for track and SC for autocross, if you're into competitive racing. I'd personally go with a turbo, that's my .02. Let us know what you decide!

Best bet is to take "doood's" advice. check out different options and what best interest you then check your financials and go from there.
