    if youre looking for cheap(er), reliable power, but not looking to go all out fast then the m90 setup is right up your alley.

    if you want to go out and make a ton of power, do a turbo setup, but it will also cost a lot more.

    yea, turbo is alot faster, but m90 will definitely be cheaper to do.

    Turbo if you want to spend $4-7k to make it reliable and get into the 11's or deeper.

    M90 if you want to run mid 12's and spend about $2-4k.

    If your looking for just that extra umph and keep it reliable then keep it supercharged. Too much money wasted in just getting a turbo kit and running low boost to make it reliable and make your trans last.

    you might as well buy a gtp if you dont wanna go through all the trouble of doing the swap and finding the parts, but i could help if you really wanted to do that.

    X2 If you don't want to do all the work pick up a GTP from the get go and get in touch with Parker (TDCRacing) or Logan the guy I quoted they will hook you up with go fast parts

    Except higher compression, but that's more work than I think he wants to do.

    If you get a GT, then you would be looking at over $1000 to get it supercharged unless you can do the work or find the parts for cheaper. There are other cosmetic features the GTP's come with over the GT's so It'd be worth it to wait for a GTP to come along...
