Good start, i like the smoked tail lights. the MS kit is sexy, and new wheels are definitally a must. What exhaust and intake did you decide to go with?

Yes there is alot of controversy about wheather or not to turbo it or supercharge it. So Both have their pro's, and both have their con's. So the best thing to do would be..

TwinCharge!!

Put a turbo and a supercharger in your car.

Shazzam! Your car will be super fast!

Between turbocharger and supercharger it really comes down to your choice. If you go with a Greddy turbo, it might come out a bit less expensive than a Pettit S/C. With some upgrades to the Greddy kit you could get it past 300, with the Mazsport turbo you could get it to around 350 I believe. The Pettit S/C will get you around 300. Research the pros/cons of each and figure out what works best for you based on your criteria (cost, power, reliability, etc).

Yeah my bumper is fine...doesn't melt...My friends been doing his with flames for a good while and his bumper looks new. It doesn't shoot out all the time...just when you shifted it at the right RPM
