    supercharger, as soon as you get about 12PSI an intercoolers recommended otherwise you will actually start loosing power. Don't know about the turbo. But the twin turbo'd option would be a nice quick one

    If you can pick up two matching little turbos twin turbo would be a might be easier to setup than a single, about the same pipe work but less complicated. I want to try for the single turbo setup. I've got just about all the parts I need to rebuild the old t04 I have now, just need a turbine wheel/shaft, But I have a .60 s-trim compressor housing and wheel and a .84 exhaust housing, should be spot on perfect for a low 13 second VN

    I bought a VH SL/E today so probably the turbo will go on that, just need a crashed VN to find a engine/gearbox/suspension/brakes/etc, seems the Diff is a bolt in job too!, sweet

    i dont see how it would be easy to run twin turbos over a single?
    yes u the exhuast manifolds would be a little easyer but about around running them to the tb.
    they would be simular to do really
