Welcome to the board!

Turbos would be great if you know how to set them up right and a good set-up multi-turbo can eliminate turbo lag altogether

Ive had a supercharged nsx that blew up and a supercharged camaro that blew up. iLL NEVER GO fi AGAIN.

basically you now have two seperate enities that are compkletely reliable on eachother to worry about.

You have the worry about the oiling and kooling of your engine just like always. But now you have this seperate beate that needs its own oiling and kooling ect.

So you now have two headaches. Dont get me wrong when everything goes smoothly its a blast!

But IMHO nothing compares to a well done head and cam package. Easy 100 PLUS rwhp over stock and better gas milage. To top it off your still just worried about your engine and not the seperate beaste.

IMHO a 450 rwhp H/C package will beat a 500 rwhp TT/SC package every time. Not to mention with equal heat soak on both vehicles the 450 rwhp H/C package will drop to 420 rwhp. Wereas the 500 rwhp TT/SC pakage will drop to 420 rwhp as well. Only the heaqd/cam power will hit harder and faster.

Good luck in your decision but I will never do FI again
