Has this been brought up before??
Im currently doing the homewrk in costs in regards to supercharging/turbocharging,the supercharger option in my opinion in cheaper & cheaper to run,as the turbocharger because its constantly priming or boosting has a tendency for more wear & tear than the latter,this all matters if we've properly covered the cooling & exhaust aspects,speaking with my guys in the racing & modifications game A standalone ecu is recommended, for a piggy back system doesnt seem to cover all the aspects of mapping & has more options for adjustments..
In terms of power the supercharger might be a lil underpowered compared to the turbo but personally ide rather be safe & keep the compression to a managable pressure becoz at first, ide keep the internals stock until its time to upgrade.there is less welding or fabricating for the supercharging bear in mind how big do you want your intercooler?? and how do want it fitted v mount or front mounted? just like xoom sed how far do you wanna go??
let me just say if the basic setup is properly done & prep(CAIs,2 1/4 exhaust systems,upgraded electrical systems ie battery etc) which ive noticed many of our members are more than equipped all it takes is a lil lottery win or a windfall to get the ballgame started.. thats in an unbeleevable increase in power sounds fun
