Sunday, May 15, 2005 6:57 AM
I know turbo kicks arssesssssss had a 91 eagle talon turbo and I've seen what superchargers do to V8'ssssss but why in the heck is a supercharger kit more expensive than a turbo kit for our cars? Why is it more expensive period?

I have an 03 auto..what would be more prac for it.. SC or Turbo or NOS?

the only thing that wouldnt work for an auto as opposed to a manual is if the charge pipes are routed under the engine. and you can always get some piping and route it over and on the sides of the enigne. other than that, the same turbo kit will fit either.

supercharger kits are honestly more application-specific than turbo kits. with a good manifold design done, the only really difficult thing to do is piping and oil lines. This is why you can create your own custom turbo kit beyond what any company will sell you, for cheaper.

its not, all the messing and crap you need to add to a turbo evens out the cost, initially the turbo would prob be cheaper but in a year or two it evens out
