And I'd turbocharge

Turbo = Bhp
Supercharger = Torque

Turbo if you want to get pinned to your seat

Both turbocharge and supercharge cost similar money and give similar gains broadly speaking. They also throw up similar problems to one another and take many of the same tricks to get working.

Most DIY jobs are turbos because turbos are more common used items. You don't have to be quite as accurate when bolting it to the car as well.

Generally the week point on these cars is the gearbox so the supercharger in considered a better option buy most for its smother more consistent power curve.

sc are much more expencive, a sh sc and bracket costs about as much as a decent new turbo but on the otherhand there is more fab work with the turbo

typically the turbo will produce more torque at a given bhp

pmsl. you've clearly clearly never seen a dyno printout from a turbo'd and supercharged one then


i really don't know what i'd say to get, there are pros and cons to both.
