Super charger or turbo, no cheap way to get the car as close to 99% complete under 10k with supporting mods. If your not looking to push 280+ bhp then save your money.

Dont take corners with knock offs, dont skip on supporting mods like the oil cooler and dont be cheap with your tune.

On another note. Im really sorry for anyone living in a CARB enforced state. The BHP limitions to dollar ratio really makes it tough.
I do agree with GSXR for the most part but I want to add one thing:

If you go lower boost (in my opinion you don't NEED 280 BHP... I'm on the innovate 210 at 225bhp and its plenty with all the torque under the curve) you don't need a ton of supporting mods necessarily. In my case, its likely that an oil cooler would over-cool my car for daily driving (which is primarily what I do). If you do ANY sports driving off the street (autox, track) you will need supporting mods for sure -- But in the case of a low boost application, you can get away with less IF you are only daily driving.

All in, I am $2500 in my supercharger setup, with the purchase of a used Innovate 210 non-intercooled unit, DIY install, and a tune from Mike at moto-east (who is known for an excellent tune for this SC).

10k is what you will spend if you're looking for 280bhp and expecting the car to last while tracking on occasion.
