Yeah, definitely give yourself plenty of time. Also have a friend with another car so you can run to the local tool shop when you realize you need that one socket that you don't have.
I only have experience with my Vortech supercharger kit, so I am not an expert by any means, but this is how I see it. I went with a supercharger over a turbocharger
for ease of install, maintenance, and reliability. The gradual onset of boost with a centrifugal supercharger is less stressful on all of your drive train components. A supercharger is also easier to install by a long shot since you do not have to mess with the exhaust piping and the whole system is just less complex and requires less supporting mods. A boost controller, engine oil lines to the turbo, oil pump, replacing the headers, etc. is not necessary with a Vortech kit.
If you do go with a turbo, I am a fan of the AVO kit. They have been around for a while, have an excellent product, and there will be plenty of people who have the same thing to share advice with you.
Whatever you go with, good luck and enjoy! Adding power to this car is an experience I have found to be rewarding.
