Default Newbie Questions.... lol

hey guys. Sorry, Im new at this, so I was just wondering if you could help me out like usual... I have a 99 t/a Vert A4. What do you think would be the best for it? I hear people tellling me "go with a supercharger" and then other people saying go with Twin Turbos and Idk what the difference is Could you tell me which one would be better in terms of increasing horsepower, efficiency, or just whatever you know about them? Thanks again guys!

Those are some dangerous questions, Semp3rFI....you should know the Turbo Mafia lurk nearby-and at any minute they might throw a black bag over your head and take you off for, uhh, re-education about forced induction. Or maybe the Supercharged Thugs will get to you first and wrap some poly-cog belts around your wrists and ankles.

j/k ...... do a search on this topic and you will probably never finish reading about the endless debate over turbos and superchargers.

I say get what you can afford-and add about $2000 dollars to that!

Go single turbo. Twins wont make more power and you'll save some money and simplify your system.
