I have a 92 240sx stock. I was wondering what one would be better to get and why? does it really make a difference??

First of all, since it is a 15 year old car, i would tighten up the suspension first before you touch the engine.

to answer your question, go turbo. power potential is much greater, plus there arent a whole lot of SC kits out there for the KA.

the supercharger kit would be mad fun to drive, but hard to get a lot of power from. i saw a dyno of someone with the ka supercharger kit and it was only like 200hp to the wheels. that will feel really fast over the stock KA, and the power will be immediate, but you might start yawning at the top of 3rd, 4th and if you get into it, 5th gear. turbo FTW if you have higher HP goals.
