    Turbo or SC? (i'm a boost newbie)

    ok i know there have probably been threads on this before and i appologize, but i was wondering, which would be better? a Turbo or Supercharger....

    i want to have the most hp i can get, and they're both relatively the same price, if i go turbo would i have to have anything else for it to work properly? or is there any specific parts i'll need to buy for it to work as well. is the turbo timer helpful? or pretty much not necessary for a while down the road. and how much about would it cost for install?


    i would prefer something that wouldn't require a ton of maintenence thats why the supercharger is somewhat appealing, but i kinda like the power gains shown from the turbo, are there any changes i could make to reach about the same hp as the turbo? about how much would it cost for the install of this ?

    thanks for any help i can get!

    -Brian

    as long as your not a dumb ass you will be cool I am new to the game I just ordered my greddy kit but from what I understand its all about what you want. All the kits are good I was torn between CN, Greddy for a long time.

    yea i like high hp, this is my first car with under 200 so i mean...i like fastness, just this is the first time i've tried to achieve it by forced induction...

    and what lsd clutch and brakes should i look into?

    If you go with the Cybernation you will not pass, unless you have a hook-up. Cybernation = no cat.

    eesh that might not be good...i didn't know that...is there any way i could put 1 on and still get good boost? or is it just not possible at all? or not even worth it

    granted my friends dad is a mechanic and he'd hook me up, i could always do it that way

    Although I'm talking out of my ass since I have not had any experience with it ... the best bang/buck is the rsx-s brakes which require the 5 bolt conversion ... search around, there are a couple of guys who have done it.
