That is a good question. I think there are some really good turbo’s being developed for the 2.4L so I would have to vote for a turbo. I didn’t hear anything about a supercharger for the 2.4L

Probably turbo. Reason - Free power. You need to drive a supercharger where as the turbo is driven by your exhaust. But the you have to deal with turbo lag and a supercharger is instant. Tough call but I'll lean towards turbo.

Price wise it would depend on how well the kit is put together and the components so there is no general price. HP increase would depend on the size of the turbo and if you have 1 or 2.
