Thumbs up

i plan on boosting my ep3. i have looked at a lot of kits that are on the market and i am having a hard time deciding what to go with. i understand the pros and cons to both turbos and superchargers. i want to keep the vehicle as a daily driver and be able to take it to the track when possible. i don't really want to mess with the internals at this time. i want as much speed and power as i can get though. i know a lot of people are using a lot of different setups in the ep3, but i would like honest opinions about the setups that they are running. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go with a rev hard kit. Cheaper than Greddy, and will get you more power. Dont waste your time with a supercharger unless u never plan on doing anything to the motor, and are happy with minimal gains for that kind of money. Trust me, once u get boost, u just want more. So go turbo!
