If I was to go turbo, it would be the Fast Intentions kit.

The drawbacks of turbo vs SC for me are:
1. no CARB sticker

2. Much higher cost, I have a 7at so tranny upgrade is needed also

3. turbos are much more complicated meaning a lot more potential for small things to go wrong or get loose, etc. which means more maintenance (I am a novice who doesn't know much about this stuff so it would be to the shop for me)

4. I have never driven a boosted car, but am told that until I am pressing the throttle down pretty hard, no boost will be made which means I will only be getting the power when I am accelerating hard whereas with SC, I am always getting some boost at all levels.
