Default 996 C4 Cab w/blower or Turbo Cab??

Hi all. I just posted in the 996 Turbo forum. I have a used 2001 C4 Cab and absolutely love it! After reading about the IC Supercharger from EVO Motorsports I decided to give them a call. It will cost about $12,500 to get it installed and tuned and the car will have 420HP/360 torque. I can get another 10-20 HP for a few grand more (full exhaust system). I love how this car handles year round (my Colorado Daily Driver) and it should accelerate faster than the same year's stock TT (similiar power and less weight).
I'll need twice that much cash to upgrade to a Turbo Cab.
So, what I'm asking for is opinions on this. I am happy "topping out" my car as I'm a motorcycling enthusiast and there is a limit to what I'm going to spend on a car. So I'm not going to spend 30k just so I have the potential to spend ANOTHER 30-40k to get a 700 HP monster.
Any serious problems with the SC vs. stock? How about problems with TT vs. stock/SC 996?
Thanks again everybody...

If you have the money, then it sounds like a good idea to me. Everyone with the EVO seems to really like them and they are apparantly pretty reliable.

You won't get anywhere near the low-end torque of the TT, but it'll be a screamer at high rpms.

I'd go TT because there's more potential for hp. and tq. than with the SC'd 996.
