Default STS Kit Build????

Im not sure if I want to go with boost yet. If I do I think I will want to go with the STS rear mount kit.

Would it be cheaper to build one myself or buy it straight out??

Or just go the complete opposite and go with a supercharger??

Need some help guys cuz Im in the building stage but I want to reach 500hp and still make it a DD.

you can build your own kit for around 1/2 the price of a sts kit and use much better components of your liking

twisty mountain roads = supercharger
max power/street or track racing = turbos

runfromcops put it pretty well and turbo setups usually take some tinkering from time to time superchargers seem more bolt in and go. im currently doing a turbo setup in my car but its not my daily
