Yea it all depends on if u want it to be a daily driver or just a plain racer.
IMO, i always like turbo over supercharger.

Well like i said...IMO i like turbos better. I just like the idea on non used gases being used from a turbo rather than having something that is belt driven be constantly running wearing out the motor more. That's just my opinion though...you can really do whatever u want.

???????????

Not to be rude but its such a stupid fffffffkn topic. For ffffffffks sake any forced air is better than non. If the application asks for turbo put that ffffffkr in and if it asks for the supercharger put that ffffffkr in. Instead of everybody wondering about it fffffffkn just do it.:flash:

When you make more power when running a supercharger it does f all to power loss and it certainly doesnt put strain on the engine to the degree that it would cause any excess wear. You should know that you have actually made more peak power at about 1000 rpm less than stock so if anything the mechanics of the engine have it easier.

As above what ever fits does the job:flash:
