No....Not again......

It depends what you want. Do some research on sites that may be more knowledgeable on sc's and tc's for your car. I don't know enough about probes to even start.

Turbo you have a lot of room to get more horse power IMO, it seems harder to get added power from a S/C but still good power

[redline]

just put leo's ass on a pipe and put that in your car!


but since i have had both on my car i would pick and not pic a turbo!

engine swap
There's neither kit for my engine, but if I put a 5L in there, supercharger, cause it's so much cheaper & reliable

[2000impreza]

its personal choice. it would pick depending on which car i had.

[MiNG]

i would have to go with a turbo just for the BOV.

[dj_honda]

turbo has more potential power but there is turbo lag

supercharger has no lag but less potential power

i would get a turbo...

[redline]

on the lag issue a SC can have lag it depands on which type of SC you choose

[T5_X]

doesn't a roots style have less lag then a cetrifugal?

roots or positive displacement = no lag
centrifugal = ass charger or lag

vents it back into the intake. Bah, it needs to go into the atmosphere, that's when you get the PSSHHHHT sound then you're running rich like an unnamed xr4ti owner

[Audi Kid]

your running damn smokey to

[choweyt3t4]

that depends on how fast you want to blow your motor lol.if you want to over heat it and detonate the engine real fast go supercharger.if you want to have the motor for a little longer then go turbo.but if you cant decide between the 2 then get both and let me know how long your engine lasts ok?also is this car going to be a daily driven car and im not talking just to and from work either.summer and winter as well????

[max_boost]

It depends what type of power out put you are looking for. In the end it will come down to proper installation and tuning that should determine whether your motor will blow or not.

you can on some kinds.

actually, come to think of it, I don't think a BOV would help too much on a supercharger, especially not on a roots style. Think about it, when you shift in a turbo, the turbo keeps spinning and when the compressed air hits that throttle plate, the back pressure building up will put the turbo at a dead stop. With a s/c, when you let off the gas, the s/c spinning drops off with respect to engine rpms anyway, so back pressure wouldn't really be an issue. Only thing, maybe it would help on a centrifugal s/c which runs at much higher rpms, with over, say 12 psi of boost.
