Now that you have had both, do you like supercharger or turbo more for this car?

For my needs supercharger, this setup is great if you are doing Autocross and Time attack. My turbo setup definitely had more topend power, highway pulls is where you can see the difference.

If you a looking to make you car into a 1/4 beast then turbo is the way to go.

I do like the feel of instant response as i hit the throttle with supercharger.

For DD i would lean towards Supercharger if you want to go the forced induction route, the maintenance maybe easier for on a supercharger. If you want to stay NA just go full bolt-ons and flex kit tuned, you will also be happy with that for DD.

Just out of curiosity, why did you go with the Tomei UEL Header (2.38" inner diameter) instead of the JDL UEL Header (2.5" innerdiameter)?
