do your research, i wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver, especially on a y8

Supercharging is a bad idea because the y8 does not have enough power to efficiently use it.
Turbocharging on the other hand is a good idea if you do the research, and take the time to learn how it works. A turbo would be a bad idea if your going to half *** the project, and not get it properly tuned.

tuning doesn't cost as much as you think.
Unless you buy an expensive standalone and have neetronics spend 10 hours tuning it.
Or you could go with a custom made program with crome (street tune/dyno tune) and you will be set at a fraction of the price.
I wouldn't supercharge a honda (unless its a 2L or bigger). And do a little research on the oiling issues with d16y8's before deciding on boostin' it or not.
