Best for daily driving, minimal problems and maintenance/upkeep : Kraftwerks Supercharger

Best for power: Turbo

both are maintenance problems.you are gonna really have to check your engine like you check your self out everyday.clean filters change spark plugs,dust,leaks.it all seems like you can tell by looking at it but you really have to check. turbo n supercharge aint cheap. thats why you have to care about your maintenance.i say you get HKS Turbo it cost $3000 that gets you from here to the corner in seconds.and another thing make sure you buy good brakes.

the SC is less maintenance, theyre all comparable in price. They will void your engine warranty.

For easy bolt on and go with minimal maintenance... the Kraftwerks SC is the way to go.

For a stock car go with the Supercharger. With the base kit all you need to to is install it and your ready to go. A turbo is going to need a bit more work to get up and running. It will void the warranty for your engine. You should also take some time to do a bit of resource, read some of the threads so you can have a idea of what your getting into.

step 1: research yourself...how do you drive...track, street, etc...
step 2: match "kit" to your driving style
step 3: research "kits"
step 4: buy!

My $.02 worth....cause it's what I did.
