RE: Twin Turbo vs Supercharger
from what i hear the novi 2000 is a great supercharger too. i would go with the turbo too, you can get it now then when you want more power you can just build a stronger engine then put the turbo on that one.

Turbos whether single or twin> supercharger IMO. They are more expensive but well worth it. Dont just go by the manufacturers' numbers they advertise. You can turn up the boost on either to get more hp once you forge the internals.

He will get in way over his head with the tt kit. What about the $ for the rear end and the transmission that kinda power is going to destroy? Hope he has an experieinced installer and tuner available to him. He is going to need suspension mods for any remote hoep of getting that power to the ground, drag radials just aint gonna do it. It seems like unless you have 20K available, tt cant be done correctly based on all the support you will need.
+1 with nanaki, another dreamer. Hope it works out though, would be a fun project.

RE: Twin Turbo vs Supercharger
Is there anyone here that actualy OWNS a TT. Nanaki seems like he is talking of experience with superchargers, but no one has told me they own a tt. I know a twin turbo would give me alot more power if I built the engine for it but keep in mind the budget of 8-9k. If im gonna pay 8k to buy a tt, install, and tune then whats the point if I cant use all the power and im going to damage my car. I dont have a 20k budget for this car and I wont for a while atleast 4 or 5 years after im done with school and im situated in a steady career. Which at that time couldnt I just get rid of the supercharger and buy a turbo? I would like to hear from someone that owns a tt for more than a year and used my budget with it. For now it seems like a supercharger is the way to go..now time to decide between Vortech, KB, and Procharger. Thanks again for all the input

Is there anyone here that actualy OWNS a TT. Nanaki seems like he is talking of experience with superchargers, but no one has told me they own a tt. I know a twin turbo would give me alot more power if I built the engine for it but keep in mind the budget of 8-9k. If im gonna pay 8k to buy a tt, install, and tune then whats the point if I cant use all the power and im going to damage my car. I dont have a 20k budget for this car and I wont for a while atleast 4 or 5 years after im done with school and im situated in a steady career. Which at that time couldnt I just get rid of the supercharger and buy a turbo? I would like to hear from someone that owns a tt for more than a year and used my budget with it. For now it seems like a supercharger is the way to go..now time to decide between Vortech, KB, and Procharger. Thanks again for all the input

supercharger=constant boost..meaning more strain on your engine,having to change pullies for extra boost,great for everyday driving..turbo=only boost in higher rpms,the turn of a *** controls how much boost you want,you can make more power with less psi from a turbo because it takes no power to make power,a little more expensive..good luck

research a little better next time. centrifugal superchargers are just belt driven turbos. they don't even start to build boost until about 3k rpm.
