I've had a turbocharged car and a supercharged car. I'll take a supercharger anyday over a turbo. A supercharger draws more power to make power, but you have power on demand. Turbochargers have that dreaded lag. [2004 Subaru WRX, 2003 Mustang Cobra ].

A $3 spring on the wastegate and a modifed stock Recirc valve would have taken it out. Also, there is a way to lauch the car with boost, not easy, but a way.

RE: TURBOCHARGER vs SUPERCHARCHER

I really appreciate every input from you guys. I think I got my question answer by all of you. I think will go with a turbo, now the question is when i will buy it. My wife is expecting a baby and that's the only hold-up.

Actually only the single turbo kit from STS which comes at 5-6psi is not intercooled their twin turbo setup still uses an intercooler at 9psi. There are a lot of negatives to the STS kit that have been discussed numerous times.

Hmmm...I'm VERY happy with my twin STS kit. EVERY system out there has their pro's and con's. Just do your research, find the system that will best fit your needs and go with it! We LOVE our turbo's on our '05. We sure don't listen to the radio too much anymore though. We find that putting down the windows and listening to the turbo's is FAR more entertaining!
