V6 Supercharger or Turbocharger?
Hey guys, since i know alot of you here are very genious when it comes to this stuff, i wanted to know which is more cost effective and better when it comes to our v6, would it be the supercharger or the turbo?
I know ive heard that turbos tend to give more power but then theres turbolag. I personally love the sound of a supercharger, and i really want a good power adder, just dont know which is more cost effective, safer to run, and better. Anyone care to help out |

From everything i've read, i'm seeing that DI and turbo's go together like bread and butter. I cant wait to see what a turbo kit will do to this car.
About turbo lag, its a tradeoff. If you want big power, there will be lag. if you throw on a smaller turbo it'll spool faster, but give you less power. so its all about finding the balance that suits what you want. |

I just love that supercharger whine sound. When a turbo valve blows off it always reminds me of a cat hissing or something.

Well a turbo does have more potential when it comes down to it. There is a great tv show on the subject where they were talking to Gale Banks. Here is the link There are 2 parts, the second part is on the right side. I found this very helpful and suggest watching it. What I took from it is that a supercharger is good while a turbo is great, there is more potential with a turbo, but for street cars I don't think it will get to the point where a good blower will be maxed out, so it's a personal choice.

Thanks guys, you have been informing as always, now i just have to save some more green to get more power, but i have to agree, the whine of a supercharger is just pure sex.
We'll just wait and see, its really only a season away |

Also alot of people kill their turbos by not letting the car run at idle for about 1 minute before shuting of the engine. You have to remember to do that or you will ware it out.
