how much money do you have? whether you turbo or SC either one will cost a decent amount if you want it done right to where it's fairly reliable. and i assume you do since you mentioned you plan on keeping the car for a while. i don't think turbo puts much wear and tear on the engine as long as it's installed properly and you don't run more than about 6 psi daily.

if you do get a turbocharger, or a supercharger for that matter, make sure you have the money for it. Turbo kits are not really turbo kits, they are more like "turbo starter kits", because even though these kits give you the hottest items in the magazine, then again they dont. boost control, engine management such as ignition and fuel, etc. are needed to complete this never ending, cash comsuming circle.....so much cash......so much.
