Anyway, you'll spend quitea bit more money on a turbo kit than you would a S/C. Since you didn't say anything about upgrading your internals, you should just save a buck and use a supercharger as you won't see any HP advantage with a Turbo on a stock engine.

how do ya figure? if you're sticking with the stock bottom end, you'll only want about 450RWHP. a blower can get you there just as easily as a turbo. hell, a blower can get you to 700RWHP if you get the right one. a turbo will just take you to numbers that aren't even driveable.
ever hear the saying "what's the difference between a 1000HP suptra and a 500HP supra?"?

im in the same boat right now man, cant decide turbo= more power but cost a lot more, while the supercharger is cheaperbut= a little less power

if you were smart youd get a s/c, and then use the rest of your extra money that wouldve been needed for the turbo and buy some blower cams, so you have power and sound
i hate the way turbos sound. t/s-roots style blowers are quite intimidating when your racing next to em.
