Message: <blockquote data-quote="ALBundy" data-source="post: 204452" data-attributes="member: 15">Its no longer true that supercharger is better than a turbo charged system. Thats probably true in the 90s.  The problem with Supercharger is, you only reach maximum boost when you are redlining the engine, ie; 6500-7000rpm. And then you have to upshift and that means ---> less fun. Not forgetting, its not advisable to rev a forced induction car above 6000rpm especially with a Bolt on System to a NA engine. Modern turbo turbines have little lag, most importantly is to size it up correctly and have the mapping done by an expert. Then there will be very little lag and you can get maximum boost at 3000rpm or below....yes pleasure all the way till kingdom comes! Only thing about turbo system, is to manage the heat generated properly with proper oil cooler and radiator. (Depending on what boost you plan to run) My advice is only this, if you have a tight budget then dont do it. There will be obstacles along the way and plenty of $$$ needed to solve the problems. If you really want to supercharge your 4 pot, Downing Atlanta makes a nice supercharger kit for your engine. All for USD 3395 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
