Default Turbo Or Supercharger?

I have been thinking about getting wheels, hardtop, etc.

I think I would rather have a fast car however. It seems like no matter what route I go I will end up spending about $5000 for either one, so which one will be better overall? (i.e. performance gains, looks, sound, healthiness for my S)

Sorry, in all honesty I know nothing about the tubos for the S. I know that the vortech and comptech are both very comparable in the supercharger dept., and that they cost very close to the same. I still could use any advice, if I can get more performance from the turbo and it's worth the money...

If cost was no issue it would be turbo for me... love BOV and the low end torque increase.

the speedcraft kit is costing people up to $10k if they don't install it themselves.
If you were to get the barebones kit and do the install yourself..it is still gonna cost you over $6k.
The vortech kit can be had for $4.2k

I realize that the turo kit will give out more HP and low-end torque, but is it worth the extra 5 G's?
