    translation: i personally would recommend a turbo charger my brother (slang for friend) , now that i have established you are my friend , do not hate me when i say that a supercharger such as an m90 will not provide enough `grunt` (slang for horse power) at higher RPM.
    my personal opinion is that a turbo charger will provide the power needed without becoming a costly endevor unlike the for-mentioned supercharger.

    atleast thats what i got out of it, there was some gibberish in there which was ommited from translation.

    if its a daily turbo is best, aslong as you keep it under from boost (normally about 2,500 or a bit later, depending on size of turbo)

    single turbo would be best, youd need it tuned, so full exhaust would be best!

    The M90 isn't the only supercharger out there, get a whipple, you will never look back, not in a V6commodore you wont.

    I got my pacemakers off a guy who turbo'd his VS wagon, he had almost finished when i came to get them, said that it's pushing 240kw. Did the install himself! The fasinating thing tho was that he didn't replace the pistons or rings... just the intake gaskets from the valley up! Said he did the same install for a guy at work whoz been cruising sweet with standard engine interals for almost 40,000kms now. (rockers got an upgrade along with fuel system and chip). The word is that the turbo's are seeing bigger numbers. just look at the factory s/c series 3 and vt ecotec, they got what - 20, 30? kws... I know that there are awesome charger setups out there... they're just nothing less then top of the range with lots done to get the numbers $$$, probly gona be safer then a turbo too.

    Main coment here is.. hope u didn't just buy the pacemakers... 'cause if ur going turbo, the extractors are coming off.

    DONT BUY THE ELECTRIC S/CHARGER!!!!!!!
