Default S/C and turbo question?

Im thinking about investing in a supercharger or turbo for my 01 ws6. What turbo and s/c would u recomend for an almost stock ta at a reasonable price and wont wear out my car too fast. This is my daily driver. What boost levels would i be looking at and how much horse/torque will i be putting out? Thanks.

How much money are you looking to spend? A basic non-sts turbo kit will run you about 2k more than a basic blower setup.

Do you want to upgrade down the road????? that is the main question you must ask your self... if not buy a base kit.... but if you do but the parts once and be done with it...... I know ive been there and done it................ If your only shooting for 5-6 psi then a ATI SCX kit would work awsome for you....... Give SDCE a call there a sponsor here to the right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Go with there 8 rib setup and you wont have the dreaded belt slipping problem.
Scott and Wendy know there stuff and have awsome customer service.......... Oh and go with the D1-SC so if down the road you do change your mind your ok....
I wouldnt run over 8 psi on a stock motor..... with most bolt-ons expect about 420-450rwhp.

I figured being in Amarillo, you would have seen one of Coles STS cars. There is one there running 10.7 from what I hear.
