yea there is alot of variables.. HOw much money you wanna spend.. how much power you wanna make.. I have a vortech v-1 s trim and I love it.. but eventually its gunna max out before my HP goal.. And instead of gettin a bigger blower (v-7) I want a twin turbo setup.. Like they said do the searching and see whats in your price range or till you find something that really catches your eye.. You tube is one way to see the turbo vs supercharger.. still alot of variables.. Good Luck.

Theres way too many factors that come into play. If you give a brief description of what you have and what you are looking to accomplish, people would be able to give you better answers. I do agree though, search. There are a million and one people who have already asked this question. Most people end up supercharging... because of a few reasons. Price, install complication, etc. The average person doesnt really have a place to install a turbo setup on their Mustang and it can get complicated at times, alot more complicated than a basic bolt on SC setup. Personally, thats the reason why most people do SC's. That and because of their price. I would go with a turbo anyday, I dont care if its for a street car, race car, drift car, etc. Turbo is the only way to go in my opinion if you have the funds, experience, tools, etc. Good Luck.
