Just go turbo lot less problems down the road.
Just do plenty of reading and research and you should have any problems going with the turbo.

it really just depends on how much power you want out of the car.

if your just looking for some extra power, get the supercharger. it combined with the 9.5 psi pulley provides great amount of pull for accelerating and overtaking and merging.

if you want a real kick in the pants, get a turbo.

as for reliability, i've had my supercharger for nearly a year now. haven't had a single problem with it, and i've been up and down the interstate, stop and go traffic, autocross, etc. it really just comes down to quality of installation. the supercharger is fine, just make sure your dealership has a good tech to do the install.
