06 VE SS
Hey Guys,

When I get off my P's I'm getting a VZ SS.

What would be better, getting a Twin Turbocharged system or a Supercharged system? Also anyone got pros/cons?
Although I have a ve I would still say supercharger! Love the sound of them and no lag!
Supercharger all the way!!

Depends on what you want out of the car, its a personal thing

I a PD supercharger gives you more low power where a turbo is more mid to high rpm. Best going for a drive in each if you can.

Take each for a test drive, XR6T and L67 I'm guessing two examples

2015 Subaru Forester, XR6 turbo ute.
If the OP drives an XR6Turbo, he will want one:smoking: If he drives a L67 he wont want another Holden ever:boxing:
No real comparison IMHO.

Unfortunatly, this is true.

Twin Turboing might be a couple $1000 more expensive too

you will get a fair bit more power from twin turbos with the same boost level as a supercharger but you will have a bit of lag. Supercharger has no lag but takes more engine power to drive the charger.

Personally I prefer superchargers but I hate waiting :p

Actually, in retrospect.

Buy the SS, then learn to drive it at stock power.

After 12-18 months, consider forced induction.

Going from a 110rwkw VY to 300+rwkw is a baaaaaaad move.
