Default Speedcraft turbo reliability

Just saw a post about Speedcraft turbos for the S, it included some stats which are much more impressive than the comptech sc... I've been trying to find some way to add more power to the car without affecting its overall drivability, does the speedcraft do so?

Could someone who has had one for a while could give me their impressions of the kit and the benefits thereof. My main concern in this would be the effects on reliability, its an obvious power increase, but with a high compression, high revving engine like the S's, I'm not sure I'd want to go turbo. Any thoughts?

if you question reliability, then keep your car stock, light modded, or even just a bolt on supercharger with no extra mods. its not to say the speedcraft turbo isn't reliable at all, its just to say, yes, it is great, and it adds lots of very usable power to the car, but on other hand - other parts of the car can become unreliable - the clutch, the diff, & the axles.

If i get either a turbo or sc, i expect to have some extra repair bills come my way, I'm just trying to figure out how long it will be before I start getting them. And whether the better performance of the turbo outweighs the 3 year warranty comptech offers with their kit.
