I know an electric supercharger is less powerful, but more affordable than a typical supercharger. My question is, are they effective and safe? If they are which one do you recommend?

supercharger and turbos are fairly safe. electric supercharger just uses san electric clutch to operate it. they are effective, but if you install one you'll have to have your pcm reprogrammed to enrichen the fuel mix. you'll have to check for ease of installation as well as how much it costs for your situation. the turbo may be a may costly and harder install. It's really up to you.
