turbo or supercharger!!!!!!!!!!!
u might think this is just another which is better which one should i get, but ive been looking and they are about the same price turbo a little more expensive but anyways, what one gives better power gains, mustangs are a lot top end so a sc might be better for more low end but why not add to that topend with a turbo setup also how reliable are turbos on mustangs i know sc is pretty reliable and what are some good turbo kits for around 3000, debating is encouraged, thanks

for three grand i would get a super but if your willingto save about 2 more grand get the TT is the way to go i think. the super will be faster off the line but once that turbo spools up, see ya later

most people that i know with a supercharged setup say that they wish they had gone with a turbo. not that they didnt like the results of the s/c, theres just that itch to go faster, a little boost only makes you want more. plus, i think the turbo spooling up sounds better than a s/c whine

RE: turbo or supercharger!!!!!!!!!!!
HP turbo kits. And when people say that turbo's are more expensive than superchargers most of the time they are really not. They just seem like they are becuase they come in a kit that included EVERYTHING (injectors, fuel pump, headers, etc. etc.) If you take a decent supercharger and than add that stuff to it comes out basically the same. Also, whoever says that turbochargers dont make great low end power are full of sh*t. I've seen turbo's make full boost under 3K; most centrifugal superchargers arent even half way there at the kind of RPM's. Check out turbochargerpower.com. Read up on that site and you will find loads of good information.
