The best deal?

Im very lost at this point. I have come to a postion where I can not decided what to do, so I want to see if anyone here can better inform me. I've been looking into increasing hp for my 07 si, with my sri and exhaust. I was thinking of either getting a comptech supercharger, a greedy turbo kit, or just going n/a with add-ons of buddy club race headers and a reflash. Now i know the turbo would give me the most whp, but im really in love with the supercharger that wine is something else! But when i looked into the supercharger..no intercooler!? I know turbos need it more but cant it still overheat? And im having the hardest time finding the best site to buy the comptech s/c so anyone know where? Anyways, I have the money for either of the 3 options and i was thinking, if i did go n/a with all those add-ons, wont i have close to the same whp instead of forced induction? What problems would I face with either the turbo or supercharger?

Hate to say it but search on the boosted options. Depends on the whp you want to gain and overall money your willing to spend on either kit. For the N/A I would go to the N/A section to get more information. I love boosting and decided to go turbo but that's not for everyone. Read here for the difference in a supercharger vs turbo chargers. What are the main differences between Superchargers and Turbochargers

Good Luck!

if anyone tells you to just save and upgrade to ms3 or anything, i might loose it...

IMO i'd go with the turbo, if you have the money, i think you'd enjoy the ride and potential to go further with the turbo.

GOOD LUCK bro, let us know what u decide.!

You know what you should do? Just save up and buy a MazdaSpeed 3. They are awesome.
