Turbo/supercharging

hey fellow 8 owners can you guys point me in the right direction..
iv been reading up of turbing the 8 but havent been getting much info on it.. im wondering how reliable would it be to turbo my 8 or even supercharging my 8.. also what other things besides what is included in the basic turbo kits do i need to do before/after turboing/supercharging it?
iv looked at mazdamaniacs greddy upgraded turbo kit.. now would that be enough or do i need other things not included in that kit?
(i didnt ask this for people to tell me that i need to research.. it just a quick question just looking for an answer, if that is your respond then just stfu )

Your welcome, that being said...

The above response, kidding or not, isn't the best way to solicit friendly help.

As long as you choose a good turbo kit, pay attention to the install, and have a good tune, it will be reliable.

if the 8 is your daily driver then make sure you have enough money to pay for the turbo and all of it's accompanying mods, but also a replacement engine.

that being said, just read the major horsepower section often. lots of information out there and once you really start to understand it you'll be able to sort out the useful from the crap.
