Hello all my name is Donovan

What is your budget? Have you thought about just getting a custom remap done to the engine ECU by a reputable tuner? Have a look at the traders on here and get some prices in. Don't forget to budget for a possible brake pad or whole brake system upgrade to handle the extra power, you might have to upgrade the clutch too assuming the power upgrade exceeds the clutch limits. Then there are the tyres, is what you have on the wheels going to be man enough for your performance intentions? If you want to go the big BHP route then supercharging will be easier than turbocharging, also don't forget that specialist equipment may also be needed such as a new exhaust manifold, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, intercooler and the list goes on & on & on.
Basically lots of people dream of big power and the first thing that comes to mind is the word 'turbo' but this comes at a big cost and in many cases the wallet reality exceeds the wallet limits.

Hope I have not put you off buddy but you need to know that there are no shortcuts to power increases and preferably reliable ones at that; after all, what good is a lot of horsepower if you spend 90% of your driving time on the roadside waiting for a breakdown recovery truck? ;)
 
Appreciate interested the feedback, I was thinking to upgrade the brakes first, i have pirelli p7 cintaurato tyres on already, done the remap from a reputable mobile tuner, maxed out my chip already, just did the rack ends tie rod ends, put new lower control arms, done two out of three mountings, need to just do the gearbox one now. Spent a fair Penny on her already
 
What would be a decent/reliable supercharger to purchase, would I need low compression pistons and rings? If so what brand can you recommend? Also.....what clutch and brand of clutch would be good? Appreciate your feedback buddy......max respect

The Lexus LFA had to have a LCD tacho as the usual needle type was slower than the actual crank speed according to JC when he drove one on Top GearSo I guess that the LFA revs faster than a Lambo.
