supercharger like a JRSC wont fit cuz the strut towers are in the way on 5th gens. youd have to fab up brackets and a pulley system to run the belts over the the strut towers. its been done but for that amount of money in fabrication might as well just go turbo.
do more researching before even thinking about going into any kind of forced induction. i seriously doubt your gonna do either anyways...

There are several things to consider when it comes to turbo or supercharger. They are both a lot more work than one might think; well to get it to run over 5 pound boost anyways. And if you are not going to run over that, you might as well just not do it. Most superchargers are kits that are "bolt on" and are pretty pricey. Turbos, when bought as kits, can be pricey as well. However, if boost is a desired power. Turbos are must more easier to manipulate for the results you want. And can be put together for a fraction of the cost. I suggest setting a goal that you would like run at and built your power from that. Research, research and more research.
