i dunno what the "kit" comes with, so i dont really know what to tell you.
i would really suggest gauges that moniter things, like you wide band and egt gauge, and oil pressure

the supercharger is SO MUCH easier, but you gotta remember, it takes power to gain it, and the whine sounds gay! its all about that blow off!

I actually love the whine sound more than my blow off sound, But when it comes to 4 bangers i am a huge advocate on turbos

I highly recommend going SC over turbo unless you're going to build the engine or get the Garrett/Hahn kit.

I've seen people get away with supercharging their cobalts for about a thousand. In contrast to that, I've spent close to 5,000. Supercharging is definitely the easier route, and very cheap now a days since there's a lot of lsj guys ditching their m62s for turbos.
