It depends on what your looking to get out of the car. I see you say you just want the car to be a daily driver and your not looking for to much hp/tq increase.

If that's all your looking to do then, in my OPINION a supercharger would benefit you for your needs. It keeps your curves more "n/a feeling" wich for a daily driver would be nice.

As far as keeping it reliable, thats going to depend highly on your tune...no matter what forced induction you choose. Its been proven these engines can last quite some time with boost, but get a bad tune and it might not last the drive home from the dyno.


Now, I would also like to say that even though I gave my opinion that a supercharger would benefit your needs, I am in no way saying its a better choice then a turbo. With a small enough turbo you CAN achieve CLOSE to the same "instant boost" as a supercharger, however you'll always have that slight lag due to the need of exhuast gas pressure to spin your turbine as opposed to a pulley thats connected to the crank via a belt.
