Supercharging vs Turbocharging
Supercharging vs Turbocharging
I want to either supercharge or turbocharge my Zed. I know either option will cost about £7k-£10k plus including labour. Which do you think is the better option? A supercharger can run with stock internals (I think, don't quote me on it). A single or twin-turbo will require uprated parts (severe expense for a twin-turbo). So it's really a question of supercharger (Vortech etc) vs single turbo (HKS, STS etc).
What are your thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Joe

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels
There is a page on Facebook that sells Japanese car stuff and they had a full turbo conversion kit for a 350 for £1900 everything needed
