Turbo or Supercharger - 4/9/2003 1:14:44 AM    351stang   Posts: 16 Joined: 4/3/2003 From: United States Status: offline i'd go turbo if you have the money. the incon kit is good if you can find one. you can make more power, and be more reliable with turbos, but its more expensive, and harder to install, but well worth the effort. my next mustang will probably be a single turboed 5.0, or 4.6.

Turbo or Supercharger - 4/11/2003 10:50:43 PM    Tangerine GT   Posts: 33 Joined: 3/23/2003 From: United States Status: offline Turbo > Super any day. Turbo is free horsepower, it works off of your exhaust. Turbo kits cost more because they come with new exhaust required for the proper setup for that kit. Superchargers are so......... redneck. They're belt driven meaning it's always in effect, meaning you'll be idling at a long stop light and you're using more gas cause the belt is moving. Besides that it costs you horsepower to turn that stupdi ass thing constantly so in reality you're losing horsepower. Turbo is the way to go. Super chargers are just so lazy and sloppy and with a Turbo you don't burn gas until the thing is spooled up. And please whine about turbo lag because when you set the thing up right with a kit made from this decade.... chances are you'll have little to no lag. Low compression pistons wouldn't hurt with either application btw. And to answer your next question - Twin or Single applications can be just as powerful as one another depending on size of turbos and how much you wanna spend filling up your tank when you have humungous injectors, I personally like twin setups. And also F*CK super chargers Look at www.turbomustangs.com when you get a chance. (in reply to FoxBodyGT) Post #: 20
