SUpercharger! I think that most people would agree commodores suit superchargers more then turbo's

Turbo's are more for a ricers!

I think there's only one company with an engineers certificate for a turbo ecotec, not sure how much, but it wouldn't be cheap.

On a 6? Turbo everytime if you want performance. The SC guys are pushing 180 RWKW while the turbo guys are way above that.

Also, for the cost of getting someone to install a T56 gearbox into your car, it would be cheaper to sell yours and buy a one with a manual in it already. I recomend getting a stage 2 shift kit for your box now and you should be happy with that.
