Default super charger or turbo?

I have a ap1 s2000 and am thinking of fitting a super charger to it just wondered if any 1 else has done this ? how much it cost and was it worth doing? which 1 is the best to buy?

Bloody hell!David is that at the wheels or the crank?Richard(Albans) said around 400 at the wheels but I didnt beleive him,Its no wonder my clutch threw the towel in at 6000 rpm.MB do you think a 3 in exhaust would make mine quieter?Iv got a 62mm magnaflow which wasnt too bad but now Ive put a decat on it it hurts your ears(now youve had your Amuse welded can I buy it .
Back to topic.Ive just fitted a TTS supersport to my car,It was £5000 and took me 2 days to fit it myself,the fitting instructions are first class as is the service I received from TTS,I havent run it much just yet but it makes the world of difference,its just the exhaust noise and the clutch are a bit of an issue at the moment,I cant compare it with a turbo as I havent run one on my car,but a little reading up eventually swayed me to the supercharger because of the way it produces the power(same as standard but more of it)I could be talked into fitting one if the price was right.If you need one Ive got a good base map that was road tested but not dyno run,which is safe,set up by Richard.

You will gain some more power with a proper 3" decat and exhaust system. Noise wise, I don't know as it depends what you have on at the moment. Any 3" is going to make noise though.

I have a 3" Asura exhaust from my turbo car sat in the garage... was nice on mine from a noise perspective.

And no, you can't have the Amuse it's not 3" anyway.
