Question S/C or Turbo?

Was it the super charger or the Turbo, one of applications that u can't put on the Matrix XRS? I'm too lazy to check the other posts and i'm doing this while i'm working so there's a factor too. To my supervisors

It's very pricey and labor intensive to turbo a XRS and you can only run +/- 6lbs of boost.
Granted you'll get 250hp.
It's just alot to do to get it to work right and not go boom in the process.
My 2 cents.
C-YA!!

so a turbo for the XRS would be more trouble than it's worth?
