Its just more sensible if u stick to turbo than a super charger on a 1.6

But had u had a K20, super charger ftw! Lotus uses it in there cars
good point there mate. but i spose it depends on what you use the motor for. personally if i was into drag racing i would have gone a turbo. but i prefer the windy roads and not having to shift to second all the time to get back into boost on the street to feel the torque, especially with the larger turbo's and extra lag? but with the JRSC kit, on light throttle and idle it'll run N/A, there's a direct vavle that closes at medium-full throttle on the manifold from the increased vacuum and allows the rotors inside the blower to do their job. so i find quite economical i get 10.5 liters per hundred k's and thats a mix of highway and inner city driving.

but i think the way to go with your setup would be for the turbo. little motor, little turbo= zippy fun for a daily drive.
