Turbo or Supercharger I have been looking into getting a turbocharger for my '01 WS6 or a supercharger, but can't decide what is better. I want something that won't cause too many problems and will last a long time!! Please help!!
How much money do you want to spend? Turbo kits generally cost more to install and maintain.
If you are only wanting 4-6psi on the streets a ati kit might be the way for you - lots of take off kits with people moving up to turbos, or if you want 9+psi or have some money to spend a turbo kit might not be a bad idea.
The only supercharged vehicle I have owned was my 03 cobra, and it was definantly fun, but turbo cars are also a ton of fun to drive.

Either one is fun to drive.
With blowers you have to worry about belt slippage, breakage...etc
With turbos you have to cool them down properly
It all depends on what you plan on doing with the car.
I am going with twins on my next car.
