Hey guys i have been doing some reading between ITBs, SC and a turbo kit and i really cant decide. Anyone help? roughly what would each kit cost and powergains?

Turbo will yield most gains then sc last is itb.

So essentially what we are doing here is comparing potatoes, oranges and strawberries, and which one is the best.

Ie, its pointless. They're all different, achieve different things for different purposes.

ITB's are just the throttle body, just individual for each cylinder stack.

NA would mean mods like ITBs, Stroker Kit, Cams, etc

basicaly i want to spend 4ish grand on a power upgrade. i was looking at first looking at toda ITBs then the greddy turbo kit and comptech supercharger and i really cant pick between. i use my s2k as a daily so i want power gains that can still be used in daily traffic and i have about 4grand ish to spend... can go a little more if i have to tho

IF you go FI, there'd be alot of problems with S2k driveshafts with big power. All over the net. People get stronger aftermarket ones. I cant tell you what cause I dont really know but the info is there.

If you run like 8 psi you should be fine though. Maybe less. F20C are highly tuned from the factory with hi comp pistons, with FI you need low comp.

Also when you consider your upgrade, consider othe necessary upgrades to such as a HD clutch, ECU and tune. Installing a supercharger,turbo is simple as 'slapping' it on.
As I hear alot of tools say.

Think about how much power you want. Can your gb realistically handle that power? You may need to factor in a gearbox rebuilt with stronger parts.

-You will need good tyres to get that power on the ground.
-BRAKES, no point in going fast if you write yourself off in the first corner.
