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).

I was in the same boat earlier. fro my research I decided to go with the edelbrock supercharger for a DD.
Reasons:
1. Edelbrock installed by a certified brick and mortar mechanic + edelbrock tune gets you a 3 year powertrain warranty. (warranty starts from new vehcle purchase date so if it is a used car past 36 months or 36000 this is not valid,)
2.Edelbrock s a roots style supercharger, you get most of the torque and hp at lower RPMs, perfect for people driving in DD situations ie 45-55 mph on way to work.
3. It looks cool, haha
4. I cannot find many legit bad reviews.
5. Edelbrock answers their phones, customer support seems good and friendly
6. Little to no maintenance needed from what I understand
7. many tuner shops sell the kit and have experience with them
