If I were you, I'd hold off on the power. I don't wanna stereotype, but a 16 year old shouldn't be worried about that. With that said, if you really want to go FI...
You're probably going to have less issues with the supercharger. Less parts to break down on you. However, you're not going to get the same type of power. Turbos will give you the power, but more likely to have something break down with more moving parts. If you do go FI, do your homework in the FI threads. If you cut corners in any part of a FI build, you're going to have a bad time. |

Not just a matter of slapping FI on and driving away. There is a pile of other work you should do to the car to support that extra hp. Don't get all caught up in the numbers game or think you need FI just 'cuz your buddies say "more horses bro". I am with the others and recommend getting a few more miles under your belt before you start looking to boost.

Oh boy, I would do some research on the net and learn how an ICE and various boost options work before relying of people's answers on an internet forum. Based on your question, I'd recommend you not even think about touching your engine yet.
If you want to short cut it, just look at the various dyno graphs for each product to get the best torque/hp curve that meets your driving need. Then investigate how many of those you end up interested in actually survive regular daily driving without catastrophic failure or constant maintenance and monitoring. |

Put some miles on it. Your going to be going down an expensive road, and you're giving the dealership a good reason to deny warranty work, cause many will blame anything and everything on your mod.

Also, your in Calif, so think about CARB if you want to keep the car or sell it.

Start with something small, bolt-ons, tune and such. Then, if you like the gain in straight line performance these mods offer, sell the FRS and buy a Mustang.
