Ok I pretty much know which is better and for what reasons, yadda yadda yadda. But I heard that a supercharger is more reliable. As in it doesn't need as much matianence and it lasts longer, but I don't know what you guys think?

 

I'm no expert on turbos longevity, but i'm willing bet that my whipple will outlast any turbo available for our cars. My reasoning is simple, heat.

Where are most turbos manufactured?

 

Simplier design and less parts to break.

 

well played mamba what are
you gonna get after you sell the
vortech

 

Ha a turbo!! But I don't know now. I mean I need reliabilty. I don't want something that is not reliable. I guess everything has it's price huh

 

I think if you look around you will find just as many sites that claim that turbos are more reliable than SC's as vise versa? It is a good question? SC's have more moving parts and it's not easy to get a speed increase mechanically? Turbos have high rpm's and heat? All I know is there are a buttload of turbos out there that run well over a million miles..........look at all those big rigs on the road. Good question though, I've been looking at those turbos also.

 

there are so many cars out there with stock turbos that are still running just fine. a guy i know has one on his cobra for 100k+ miles. Treat anything right and it will treat you right

 

mamba, if a turbo is what you want, then
a turbo it shall be!

you only live once, get what you really want and
to heck with reliability

 

Wasn't this exact question asked 3 days ago?
