6psi of boost on a turbo will net 240-250whp. Now, real talk....why would you risk 200-220whp on an unreliable system (that's sitting on your engine that is), and complain about having an extra 20whp or so from something that you just need to keep up with your regular oil intervals. If you go used on a turbo setup, then all you need to do is get the turbine checked out for a clean bill of health, and get the car tuned.

More real talk....Boost IS ADDICTIVE! I have yet to met a single person that went F/I and didn't turn up for a little extra power. Sure some stop at 250-300whp. But not 200 or 220whp. I dare you to drive a while on 230-240whp, turn it up to 300whp and drive for a while and then go back to 230-240whp and tell me you would rather be at 230-240 after feeling 300.

Rhythm speaks the cold hard truth. 10 psi on descendant kit, stock block, turned into EMS, fuel return, built motor and 25psi (not together yet). My 275-300hp is gonna be 450+ quickly within 1.5 years

Supercharger is not a bad route. Turbo is better option
