Update

Find myself struggling to decide what FI option to go with. I really like the Vortech kit but for the price it isnt making the power I was hoping for and its power potential is limited compared to turbo kits. I also like the Innovate Kit but am becoming in patient with the lack of details. The Innovate kit has the most appealing price for the Stage 1 Kit but I feel like it would just be best to go with the Stage 2 for $4600 since I live in Vegas and am potentially looking for 300whp+ and 230+whp. Another reason I was considering the SC option is because I could run UEl Headers and get that boxer rumble.

With that said, Full Blowns kit is very impressive and makes great power, with much potential. It is the perfect kit for my power goals, budget, and personal taste when it comes to TC kits; the only bad thing is the EL Turbo manifold won't produce that boxer rumble.

What do you all think? Go SC and have boxer rumble with expensive UEL headers/full exhaust, or TC with full fuel system upgrade and have the ability to add more power later with forged internals but sacrifice "boxer rumble"

I know man I am pretty much in the same boat as you. I personally say go for the super charger! That's what I am probably gonna go with. Sounds like you want that boxer rumble and no lag, but it's up to you. Can't wait to see it either way.

It was a tough decision but I have decided on the Full Blown Kit, it just comes with so much more for less money and is kind of future proof in a way. No need for expensive pulleys, not always in boost, and already comes with catless turbo manifold/"header" so no need to spend money on expensive UEL later. I will just sacrifice my boxer rumble.

Ben told me you picked the full blown kit.. Cool beans, that's what I was looking at if I went TC.. Who is doing the instal.. Because you know this one ASE tech that may have installed a few kits on a few different cars is coming out that way

Oh nice! I was planning on doing the install myself since I did the turbo kit swap on my 91 MR2. This one is a bit more extensive so I may need the help of an ASE tech
