Some people may disagree with me on this one, but I truly think it depends on what you are going for. Are you going for a highway street racer type setup, everyday get around car with a little bit of extra umpf, quarter mile track, road course car, auto-x car, etc etc etc. Need to say a little bit more about what you are trying to accomplish in order for people to be able to give you a good valid answer!

I think that's proabably by far the most sensible way to approach a power upgrade; one that is often glossed over by folks looking for more power.

Never heard of that before. The turbo on my eclipse has been on there for 7+ years now!

I just posted something saying this in another thread, but I'd be happy to repost it here.

You live in NoVa like myself. I have a turbo S2000. Keep in mind, a turbo S will not pass emissions. I believe the comptech will pass emissions, but I could be wrong. Someone with a supercharger can field that one.

Honestly though, you still aren't really saying what you are going for with the car. The last thing I want to do is give you the wrong advise.

Basically here was my situation - I had the basic Spoon bolt-ons. Traditional daily driving and driving some of the local twisties on the weekends. I decided that I wanted good reliability with some extra pep, but nothing too wild. So I purchased a Comptech Supercharger w/ Aftercooler and 7psi Pulley. Then once I got that I started attending the weekend nightly street races. Lost a race to a modded Camaro SS and determined I wanted more power. So I then invested in EMS, Smaller Pulley, Larger Injectors, etc etc etc.
Now at that point I should have realized, my purpose with the car had changed. It was no longer a daily driven car - it was merely used for S2Ki Meets and weekend Street Racing. (Yeah I know, Street Racing is highly illegal - and I have quit doing it. However for the purpose of my post I'd rather be honest than lie about stuff). With this I should have switched over to a Turbo Setup, something such as the Lovefab Kit.

Basically what I am trying to say is that what you should get all depends on what you are looking for as an end result. If you are looking for a car that will crush the local competition on the streets, you'd probably be better off with a Lovefab Turbo Kit. However if you are looking for just a little it of extra pep for your daily drive yet enough to make the twisties a little bit more exciting, go Vortech Supercharger.

Again, this is all my personal opinion - some people may disagree, some may agree. The final choice is ultimately yours, I am just trying to offer some recommedations!

What puts the biggest grin on your face? Ripping it around the mountain twisties - or lining up next to a 350Z on the interstate and leaving him behind?

From your choices I went with LoveFab , actually I would of picked that no matter what your choices were . If you said you want 350+whp then I would eliminate the SC as a choice. I'm not saying that you can't put down over 400+ with a SC setup, but it just seems easier with the turbo. Then between LoveFab and Inline, I choose lovefab. Great parts, great customer service.
