Nice build so far. As far as your forced induction choices, I don't favor either of them. IMO, allocate your funds else where, especially if it yields a positive return.

Nothing yet. A bit loud on a cold start but pretty quiet while driving. I highly recommend this setup

Where else would you have in mind?

I have had multiple turbocharged four cylinder hondas. I think for me living with the Texas heat and not really driving too much highway, a supercharger would be ideal. Plus, its easy to install myself and remove to sell if I wanted to in the future. Thanks for the feedback.


Some past cars I owned. Not really in order

1993 Civic Garrett T3 Super 60 turbo kit
1999 Civic Garrett T3/T4 57 trim turbo kit
1996 Integra GSR Garrett T3/T4 50 trim turbo kit
1995 325is M Sport
1999 540i M Sport

heats going to be an issue for all of the FI options. my vote is for turbo but if you must go SC, jackson is the best kit right now.
