You don't need pulleys for a turbocharger because you are already making more power w/o them. Plus you then need to buy an ems that'sll run you roughly $1000 = $5,050.00. Then you add how many times you refill your meth and buying a spare belt the cost is the same or more.

I'm not saying a supercharger is bad, I would buy one right now if I had the $$$.

Why do you keep mentioning meth. I'm not running meth? You don't HAVE to run meth. My car hasn't over heated yet. Why are you talking about a EMS? I just picked up a greddy emanage ultimate w/ harness for $400 to retune my car. I'm totally aware of the cost of exhaust, pulleys that you'd want to add for a supercharger ( same with turbo ). Belt snapping? lol. The blitz is $3400 MSRP, but i'm sure none of us actually had to pay that ( thanks garm ). Anywho, just saying you're willing to pay $4500 for a turbo kit is kinda crazy. Turbos and superchargers can both have their problems down the road, you can't predict anything ( but you can try ). As of now, supercharger still going strong. That all might change after I tune though........ lol

However, let me remind you, I still would like a turbo kit with 180whp ( garm *wink* wink )
