Its can be made into an under 2000 lb car with a built engine and a turbo you can be sure as hell it will be fast in a straight line...

Ok we can't argue over whose supercharger or turbo charger is better, they all have their advantages/disadvantages.

Supercharger

Ease of install
colder air charge if turbo is run without intercooler
no oil/coolant lines
but has parasitic loss from the engine and consumes power before it even makes power.

Turbo
easy to install if you have all of the piping/parts
boost can be adjusted at will
damn oil/coolant lines
need an intercooler
takes energy from exhaust and recycles it :P

But honestly if you had a turbo kit vs. a supercharger kit and all the parts laid out and ready to slap on there without doing any work to the car. I would take the turbo kit, but this is A's and B's since this car isn't going past a certain amount of power without some major work done. And also if you were going to want power with upgraded internals on a SC kit, you would have an eaton right now... But if i just wanted it for fun spirited daily driving i would pick the Blitz supercharger kit that Garm has...

They both have their fair share of reliability issues where pulley slips or shreds belts on the SC or the, well you know i haven't really seen a turbo get messed up from itself, someone chime in if they can think of something
