2006 GTO that we installed an APS twin turbo kit on.

2005 GTO that we installed an ATI ProCharger D-1SC on.

Both kits are awesome, you can't go wrong with either one! Bob

I always thought a turbo was easier to integrate when adding new mods

I personaly would go with a blower even though turbos very effective but they can also be very defective as fars a oil leaks, vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks etc but with the right tuning and bugs worked out of the system a turbo car will walk all over most blower cars

I didn't vote.

Is the turbo or supercharger going on a lawn tractor or what?

I understand where I am posting but I think to truthfully answer the question intelligently we need to know the application. Hold on, I figured it out.

I say go turbo. People have much more respect for a V8 with a turbo. Also, the sound of the turbo spool is amazing.

Definitely turbo

Superchargers can take hp away from the engine

Turbos run off exhaust gas so the power is unlimited. Plus from what I've seen turbos OWN superchargers in most situations.

Also, ya gotta love that SPOOL!!!!!

Wow.. alot of UNKNOWLEDGEABLE turbo people in here..

anyone ever hear of PMEP?? and the STS kit doesnt have the benefit of actually using the heat energy like a typical turbo setup, so it relies completely on the pressure delta!!

Im not saying they are less efficient than superchargers.. but they are NOT as far away as you think!

I don't think hearing a Turbo Spooling is Better that a Screaming supercharger... I love that noise...
