...do ... supercharge or turbo ? and which would i see the most power from and what would the prices be?
 
Its all depends on what you want from the car.

Supercharger

Pros- Easier to install, costs less, less moving parts, more power throughout the entire wideband.

Cons- Has a set amount of power that it can make

Turbocharger

Pros- Would have more power than the supercharger, tons of potential to upgrade even further down the road, makes huge amounts of torque in the higher rpms.

Cons- More parts, more expensive, turbolag.



Basically, if you want your car to be faster in a straight line, go for the turbo. If you want it to be more powerful but want to keep it fun in the curves as well go with the supercharger.
 
the turbo will give you more power. but might cost you a little bit more but it will be worth it. a turbo kit runs around 3-5k depending on the size of the turbo and what not. and i think they run about 1k to get installed or so
