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.

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...
