if you're after speed, you can go Turbo..but then again in an economy car? i'd rather SC. if it were a civic or a corolla yes i would suggest Turbo.
idk if that is correct the s/c alone is 3500 new. If you can find a used one then yes s/c would be a cheaper option

I would say s/c is less of a headache than turbo and requires less maintenance

While the initial cost seems high, but with the blitz you aren't buying anything else.

With a turbo, even a kit, you'll have to buy all sorts of various fittings and other minor things that can add up to quite a bit. And then there is tuning. The blitz tuning is pretty simple. Tuning on a turbo takes time and practice, or lots of money.
