Turbo tech racing has pretty good pricing. Definitely shop around. Zzp, fmsr, ottp, plenty of other vendors too.

Which compression pistons would be the desirable ones for supercharged? Would they also work ok if I decide to turbo it later on?

Here's my 09 2.2. Been supercharged for almost a year now. I finally got the bay to look all nice and clean. Tucked a few wires here and moved some hoses around there.

Loving it. Gas mileage is surprisingly better from when I was NA. Probably won't be for long though since I'll be going E soon.

I'd say it looks pretty good. What wheels are those? I did a 5 lug/brembo swap and now have a set of LNF wheels and a set of IRL wheels.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the codes as well as rain performance of the eBay intake should have went with the K&N.

Also I literally meant what wheels not just that their 17's.

I got the KYB shocks and struts and lowering springs...Not full coilovers since shipping 1k plus weight would´ve killed my pockets XD, but they performed really well.
