Forced induction is good - there's no denying that. It's just a matter of choosing what's right for you.

What's in your wallet?
What's in your toolbox?
Where do you want your powerband?
How much custom work do you want done on your car?

The STS looks to be an economical solution. I get the feeling that there's no bolt-on solution for the SVX, but the work to get the task done doesn't look as difficult as that to install an underhood turbo (the STS should be much easier on spatial constraints!) If you can wait out the lag (and there will be lag) and if you can sort out the intake, then it would probably treat you well.

I just don't have the time for it, though.
When the silver was mine I had always giggled at the idea for a custom plate [WUT LAG]
