whichever you can afford, but seriously, probably turbo.

Turbo is better, super is more affordable. Personally, if I had the money for a turbocharger I would still buy a supercharger and spend the rest of the money I saved on other mods.

Go ahead and drop around 15k on it and get the 1900hp kit from turbokits.com
The dominator twin turbo system...with those garretts.
Build up the engine nice, so it can take all of that...don't hold back
Thats what me and my brother are going to do to my fox (hopefully) after i get my daily driver.

What's cooler then a Turbo? [8D]

All the imports are Turbo, and it's because they make the most power.

I'm plotting Turbo Destruction for next year. I need to gather the parts and tools to make it work though. It will be worth the effort. $5K is a ton of money for a Turbo kit. I can do it for less than half myself.

Care to explain everything that goes into building a turbo system?
I don't want to hi-jack the thread over this, so feel free to start a new one.
Its a valid question/topic.

And is building your own turbo kit worth the headache, rather than buying one. Just wondering, I have no expierence with turbos.
