    Default Turbo vs. Supercharger on Ecotec?

    Strapping on a turbo or supercharger has crossed my mind even though I am supposed to be restricted. Hypothetically if it was legal for me to do so, would it be best to get a turbo or a supercharger?

    From my knowledge they are roughly around the same price though give power in different areas of the power band.

    Thoughts?

    I have seen a few good ones of both..
    Personally i think the Super6 is easier to drive sounds best.. The turbo is a bit boost in hold the **** on as we go sideways all over the place. Some might like that.

    Lag is misunderstood. A correctly matched turbo will spool up well and provide good response. A supercharger may be easier to bolt on, but personally, I would go with a turbo.

    Supercharger all the way turbos take up to much room in the engine bay with all the intercooler piping and the blow off valve. The Supercharger looks more factory like comparing to the turbo.
    If its Found On a Rubbish Dump its a FORD if it is Holden On its a Holden. Pick your poison.
