Now hold on a minute!!! all of you are saying that a turbo gives you more. You could not be more wrong!!! why would you build a motor, make it really fast, and than plug up the exhaust with a turbo??? superchargers are SO much better. who am I to say this??? glad you ask.  My father once made those superchargers for Dave Atkins. the company name was Camden supercharges. Dave is selling LC the parts to make those superchargers.  I have do many hours of research on the subject. here's one for those in dought. How do you get more boost for a turbo??? close the waste gate, right? what dose this do? it makes the turbo turn MUCH faster and in time will burn up the turbo.  you won't get a big result from this either. Or you could just get a bigger turbo($500+).  How do you get more boost from a supercharger? change the pulley on the supercharger. yes it turns faster, but they are still only turning twice as fast as the motor.
a low boost turbo will turn as much as 30,000 rpms. where do you thing that high pitch wine comes from???  DO some research guys before you invest in something like forced induction. this is still just a nother oppinon.
