Hey y'all.. Just wondering what turbo/supercharger brands and setups you are using and any recommendations. I'm looking for a little more power in my car. Still plan on using it as a DD but of course, more power is always nice. Anyone have experience running boost on stock engine internals? How much boost before I'd start running into problems and looking for a rebuild? How does the stock tranny and clutch hold up? Just looking for info on how the stock car would handle a little bit of boost and which parts would be a major concern I'd have to swap first before installing.

Mods so far: spec d catback exhaust, fortune auto coilovers, 18x9.5 +30offset Enkeis , brembo breaks, eBay engine bay strut bar (lol), and a vinyl windshield banner (plus 5 hp obviously) (that was a joke ha ha ha ha......).

Also.. Turbo or Supercharge? I've been reading up super chargers seem to work better on the FRS but I love that turbo sound..

P.s. I'm not planning on going past around 10psi. This is still my daily (aside from my pos 96 civic).
