What is the parts list for this complete turbo kit that is both cheaper and more reliable than a supercharger?

For me $500 on a $5k to $6k expense is negligible. Jackson racing kit $4k, I received a ok deal on an AVO kit $4.5K.
I started this journey wanting the Sprintex. Looks like a good reliable supercharger. (Same price as the AVO). One thing for me is it has to look like it belongs. Decided I did not want to give up my 2017 red intake. This pushed me toward the HKS kit since it is the cleanest looking install out of all the kits. After reading the owners thread and not being able to get thru any page without someone complaining about a supercharger failure decided that is not a good choice for me(I am sure a lot of the failures are self induced). Then looked into the Jackson racing. That one appears to be the most reliable out of all of them. But did not like the looks with the air cleaner out in the open in the engine bay. Then if you add a cold air you end up having to take the front bumper off to clean the filter. Do not want that ether. The 2017 filter is acceptable for my requirements. Then I was looking at the Works kit. Clean install but will not fit the 2017 at this time. I stumbled across the AVO kit. Has an extremely clean looking install all the heat is generated where the original exhaust was designed to be. All the above kits will get me in the 300hp range with E85. And yes I have read all the above installation manuals plus more. and do not see that any one is more difficult than the other.
Anyway all of them would be fun they are forced induction! For me the turbo brings a more reliable platoform. To each his own this is why we have such great choices for this car. What other car do you have this many options for forced induction? It makes it hard to decide.
