the question for you regarding maintenance is the key. both a sc and turbo are high maintenance. A turbo is just a notch higher imo. A turbo or sc can be tuned to perform any way that you want. If you want to sc for high, you can tune it for it, if you want major mid range, you can tune your turbo for it. You can go all motor as well, a little more expensive but the maintenance is a little easier. Expect to use higher octane fuel, at least 103. Don't forget that you will need a equally built suspension and brakes to counteract the power of the motor. Think about what you want from your car exactly, what power numbers, what type of handling, then ask again with a more descriptive version of what your ride should be, it'll be alot easier to tell you what to do.

btw: a blow off valve and turbo timer are the two most worthless things in a turbo setup. everyone that makes a big deal out of them doesn't understand the way that a turbo system works and how to properly use one(not saying that you don't pdiggity, just maybe that you heard wrong).
