Hey everyone, I've got an S550 to be delivered within 35 days or so and I've been considering putting a blower on it. I've been doing some digging, but I'm trying to get some thoughts from you pros and some consolidation of information.
(As far as Whipple v. Roush v. Procharge... I've gathered that Roush is nice for warranty retention, Procharge is cheap & removable, and Whipple seems to be all-around solid but more expensive.)
I will not be doing anything aside from daily driving and general fun cruises, no tracks or racing. I'd love to have some nice power, but I don't want to severely cripple the reliability/longevity of the car. (Totally understand there's always risk of something breaking, just not looking to push the envelope)
Questions...
1) Aside from installing a blower, what other parts would be critical to install? I presume I shouldn't just bolt on a supercharger and that's it.
3) As far as general maintenance post-install, what should I be doing to keep the car in good shape & associated costs?
4) Twin Turbo v. Supercharger, which one would you say feels more powerful/thrilling? (Opinions from both sides of course!)
4b) Twin Turbo v. Supercharger: is one more of a pain in the buns in terms of upkeep cost or reliability?
I apologize ahead of time for the complete rookie questions, and if you have any good references/links to some reading material I'm all ears!
Thank you all :cheers:

2) What is a good cost for installation labor? (And if you happen to know one in the DFW area, I'd love referrals)But this is why my car is getting oil pump gears, crank gear, and ati damper this weekend while installing the Whipple.
