That would be sweet for a non-turbo subie. One reason some people prefer super is no turbo lag. I like lag, lets the other guy think he is gonna win.

Car Info: want a WRX
if you supercharge the engine you will not have any lag as someone else has already stated, but there will be parasetic drag obviously...with a turbo theres no drag but then you have to deal with lag...its mostly personal preference i guess...

www.howstuffworks.com has an article on the differences between a supercharger and turbocharger, which is definately worth checking out. good luck!

For 1 pound of boost and something that wont give you much more horsepower than a drop in K&N filter isnt worth 300 bucks to me. Save your money in my opinion

Gee, you're really hell-bent on supercharging your Subie huh?!
Dunno if the 4-banger's gonna be able to handle the parasitic drag like awns mentioned. But a supercharged H6 now...
