    Ive been seein how much more whp that a turbo is getting than a supercharger and I'm starting to want to go turbo more and more...
    I see that I can buy a kit but what else am I gonna need for the swap besides the turbo kit and it looks a little out of my league to install so where could I go to have it installed and how much would a shop charge for installation? Thanks guys...

    My advice to you don't go turbo.

    Speed is an addiction the faster you go the slower it becomes.

    There are basically 2 ways one should go turbo. Either be prepared to spend a lot of money having someone else do it for you or learn everything yourself and save a few $. Sounds like you won't be doing the second suggestion, so have $3k to $8k handy.

    This. If your asking questions like that then you don't need to go to a platform that is even harder to tune and be problem free than a blower setup.

    Ya go to ls1tech and ask them questions like you asked here. See how much help you get there lmao.

    In all seriousness LSx is the way to go dude. But take this at least DO RESEARCH!
