A supercharger would be a bolt on. They run about $6,000 for a new, complete kit. Intercooler would be included in the ATI kit.

Turbo's are rare, and VERY custom. Supercharger kits are available for arond 4 grand, and easier to install. A search will give plenty on both, but here is one of the larger turbo threads so far

There is no "best". They each achieve the same results in different ways, with different trade-offs. I.e., they each have their pros and cons.
Only you can decide with method would suit you best. Read all you can on both systems, then make an informed decision.
Good luck!

check out www.blowerworks.net
or http://www.turbochargedpower.com/#85...%20Turbo%20Kit

they have info on kits for either, unless you want to build your own or have it custom done for you.
