Stick with the HKS.

I would never turbo an S2000 personally.

Two very different routes with different end results.
Personally I think supercharge will give you more than enough power to added torque to enjoy the car.
Turbo will add more power (If you are only after chasing numbers), but possibly make the back end extra twitchy? (I cant comment too much on this as I have gone the HKS SC route.
Car is still very driveable.
Maybe someone with turbo can advise how driveable a turbo setup is.

A supercharger allows you to keep the same power delivery but more of it,A turbo completly changes the car.Ive run both,Supercharger is nice,turbo(im at 550/350tq)is brutal.

If you want a nice car go Sc If you want an animal go turbo.If cost is an issue then the former is far cheaper.
