Default Forced Induction Support Group

Hello, my name is Jon and I am a Turboaholic. I experimented with the "gateway" mods' such as exhaust, intake, etc... But soon I kept feeling the hunger for more... more power. I yearned for the ability to competitively race the likes of mustangs, camaros, tegs, srt, etc.
I thought that I might one day want to purchase the TRD Super Charger like many other scionlife members. But then felt that the "even longer" wait and measly 40hp gain for over 3000k was not my best opportunity cost. Therefore I went with a per-order turbo kit like a number of others here on the board. Now I must remain patient a little longer than expected, but better things come to those who wait. This will be my first turbo to own or install. I know there will always be something new to learn...

I wanted to create a independent simple thread for the following to share there thoughts, ideas, anxiety, laughter, or impatience.
What kind of forced induction are you going with, or thining about?
What potential mods' are you thinking about adding?
Are there any useful resources, links or FI related experiences that you think might be worth mentioning?

This thread is only for those who fit all three categories below, you are more than welcome to post here:
(1) If you have pre-ordered a forced induction kit, or are seriously thinking about it.
(2) If you have not just joined this forum within the last 72 hrs from the date of this post.
(3) If you feel like you must view the 'Power Hungry' forum more than once a day recently.

I would like to hear your independent thoughts and ideas.

well since I am in california. I would wait for one of the "big" companies. Such as greddy. That will have a carb #. I had a boosted sr20det nissan and it was just too much hassel from the local cops. Looking to getting 250-300 would be nice.
