Thread: add on supercharger

Depends if you are going for the fastest your car can go or not. If you just want a little more HP just supercharge it but if you want it to be fast over time and want to really build it up go turbo.

Go turbo.

Its the best way to go.

And in the long run, it will be cheaper too.

Upfront the turbo will be way more but in the end you will be happier with the turbo over the supercharger I think.

Top swap kit + Modding on top of that, will cost more that a turbo kit up front.

Just a top swap kit will be cheaper but that gains compared to a turbo is nothing.

Depends on far you want to the build.

Hands down, turbo is a much better option.

welcome to the site

Put on a PLOG, HAI, Downpipe, and an HV3. Then get a tune. Should add some noticable pep and MPGs.

Run that setup while saving for a z7 kit and a fully built TEP 4t65e.

When sufficient funds are obtained for not only parts and labor but also some for when/if things go wrong, then install the turbo and trans in one shop trip.

Then you would have a nice flowing and powerful set up.

a good turbo is in no way cheaper then a top swap. even adding headers, top swap is still cheaper.

I fail to see this logic being correct
