THose guys are pretty slick on the website. They wrote "Carb approved" the second line and "not" on the first line. I thought it said "CARB approved" before i saw the red lettering.

If its just for day to day "set it and forget it" type low band power I would go with a super.
For everything else turbo.

personally id get a turbo either way because you do get a lot of power in the end that deffinately makes up for the little gain in the very low RPMs.

Super is what you want then. I have an 02 Si as well and Ive thought about the same thing. A turbo takes regular maintanance and by no means can you install it and forget it. Super is definitely the choice for you.

Then a suoercharger is for you. Without all the mubo jumbo of goign further... that will do you. However, once you get over the wow factor you will find you want more power.
