Re: Superchrged vs. Turbo

If you decide to go custom turbo you're going to need a ton of supporting modifications, and the cost will add up fast. Hard pipes, intercooler, larger injectors, boost controller, wide band, dyno time, tuning software, huge labor costs if you can't do it all yourself, plus the turbo kit itself...the list is endless. In the end you'll end up running 5-10 psi. The NA engine just isn't built for forced induction.
