All motor?or Boosted?need help

[cminbust6]

Hey guys I'm really have a tough time on deciding on going all motor or get boosted.I know it really depends on each person.I just need to know basically what are the pros and cons of both.I'm still a novice.I have a RR FA5 my current mods are:
nst pulleys
sk2 70mm
p2r TB
p2r IMG
Fujita SRI
Vibrant header w/hfc(arriving soon)

I would love to get boosted but does it have more serious consequences if you are novice at boosting?.I just love the blow off noise that it makes.I hate it when I"m on the road and a SRT-4 rolls up then "spits" at me.Moments like that makes me wanna get boosted.On the other hand I would like to go all motor as well, to me going all motor seems more true to modding a car.Point is I just need your guys opinions on All motor and boosting.And one last noob question this K-pro i hear about is that some sort of engine management system?.I heard some people are waiting for k-pro and not get a reflash.And if I go boosted does any of my curret mods have to be replaced by another item?.My main goal is to be at 300+whp.Which is best way to go?

i say boost. k-pro is a complete tuning solution that hasn't seen the light of day yet for our beloved 06+ Si's. how do you like your NST pulleys btw? mine are sitting in my garage right now...

Your car will run high 13s if you can drive it which is decent. Over 300hp on a decent budget I would have to say boost. Or throw a 75 wet shot on your car now and make around 270 to the wheels

Boost is the cheapest easiest most effiecient way to make power...You will spend thousands to get the Si and 300whp with all motor...Your intake header and possibly throttle body spacer will have to be removed...

Boost!!!!

wait for the kraftwerks kit. its going to be the bomb.

Kraftwerks USA Products

Honda Integra Type-R with Rotrex Supercharger (for a sample soundclip... not a k-series but you get the idea)

not necessarily. he never specified turbo or supercharger when he said boost. he could still keep his n/a stuff (header, intake) if he supercharged.

[cminbust6]

yeah I meant boost as in turbo.sorry.SC is great and all but turbo can beat sc any day i think.Plus i like the sound of the BOV more then the whining noise that the sc makes.So what u guys think about that kit i posted?its from pro civic.

[cminbust6]

so if i go turbo what kind of header am i going to get?

[Nathen]

no header with turbo.... i think you need to read a little more on this forum. then worry about what you are going to buy.

Very true...my bad...Yeah I am only right if you go turbo...If you get a supercharger you're good

Do some research bro, it will do wonders. Not to say it's not a legit question, research will keep you from asking the silly ones.

well after reading a little more.I dont think I"m going with turbo main reason why is you have to cut off the bumper bar or shave it down.I have a son so I eed all the protection I can.Well so far nathans link to kraftworks looks very interesting.For now I'm just gonna do what ever mods I can upto a supercharger.Then hopefully if that kraftworks SC work out I'm get that.

I replaced mine with a dual pass, thicker core intercooler to retain the bumper support.
