I'd be torn between the two, the F20C sounds fantastic and is great fun driving it out to 9k but i always felt the chassis would take more power. This would solve that feeling but you'd sacrifice that 9k sound, must watch that vid to see if the gearbox stays...

that is where SC S2 comes in, genuinely quick, still hits 9k, sounds similar (but louder, bigger bang)

But with standard box and diff they won't last forever imo

Turbo robs the audio, especially on smaller capacity motors like this

Yes this uses s2k oem drivetrain so box prop. Just uprated diff and shafts.

Been thinking of supecharging mine to the 350 area but being a 02 MY not sure can justify it

There was a kit on here for sale. It can be very expensive but you can also get a chunk of the cash back

It depends on the cat tbh, I would not supercharge my 2001 car which I have had since new as it's in classic condition but it suits the gnarly one I bought. Makes for a much quicker car, depending on setup mine runs 384bhp, it's pretty quick and a lot of fun
