whats the difference between turbo charging your car and supercharging it? I have an '01 cobra and I just wanted to know if there would be a difference in performance if I turbo charged my cobra instead of S\Cing it.

 

If you turbo the Cobra it will most likely make more power....plus turbos are more efficient...only problem imagineable is lag and that is barely ever an issue anymore...If you Supercharge the Cobra there will be a power gain from the momment you hit the gas to stop but it is more strenuous on the engine seeing how you use a belt to drive it...don't use TOO small of a pulley on a supercharger to just make alot of boost cause you could over spin the SC...Turbos are more expensive

 

You could also go for a Kenne Bell type blower which has most of its power down low

 

thanks..where could I get a turbo charger? could I use one off a WRX or an Audi S4? or do I need to buy a completely new one that is just for a mustang?

 

buy one for a mustang....you can go to Proficientperformance.com, cartech.net or many others...just type in mustang turbo systems in search and they'll be places to go....but turbos aren't cheap...they cost a good penny...and remember that your going to want to make sure that everything else in your car is up to check for the turbo...

 

In the proficientperformance site just click turbochargers at the top and they'll be links

 

www.turbochargedpower.com has the number 1 turbo kits. They are completly TURN KEY so you need nothing else but what they send you. So you just install what they send and you have a turn key system putting out over 500hp. I have not heard one bad thing about these kits. I would go for a turbo but my buddy that specializes in turbos said that the exhaust work can be a trick somtimes. Im not sure though, just research it yourself so you will know.

 

what he said^^^

 

so how much will I be spending about...like 6k?

 

That's the baseline price I saw in some brief research... I think they can go as high as 9 depending on what you want... some guy was claiming upwards of 750hp on an '00?? Mustang with one...
