There's going to be a lot of controversy but for me I wan't instant boost and about 280whp. It sounds like it's something I can achieve out of a twin screw (Innovative Motorsports) and maintain max reliability/drivability. You can probably make more power up top with a centrifugal, but if I wanted more power, I'd go the turbo route. I want something reliable and minimal in parts, so I'm going with the twin screw set up.

The twin screw will offer more day-to-day fun since when you step on the gas you get full boost right away. It's more direct in pluming and from my understanding can even help fuel economy when cruising. I've had many turbo cars in the past and they are fun but require a little more up keep and experience with them. My BRZ is my DD so I want reliability but obviously some more power! I think a twin screw kit will be a perfect match for the backroads in this car.

I plan on getting Innovate's kit if the numbers are right, but unless you have a gaint turbo making 500+ hp the lag you guys speak of is non-existent. Just my .02

not enterily true, remember that until spooled your are dealing with what the motor already has. But with the frs I was just trying to correct the torque problem and be able to has that sudden burst or power superchargers have.
