Gone are the days of bolting a supercharger on your car for 7k just to gain 30rwkw...

Hit up the twin turbo.

1 small and 1 big.

What is your budget?

That vid is awsome! lol depends what ur chasing mate, i decided to go with the blower setup as its easier for as im going same setup as mate has so he can help me collet all the bits and fit it ect

eitherway ur gunna make awsome power spesh if u got a cam aswell, im aiming for 415 - 430rkw which is plenty for me as a daily

I also love the sound of a blower lol as said but u can make more power with the turbo's

Valley mount supercharger. Instant boost and less plumbing hassle.

Going the bi-turbo route could be a good option. Having power throughout the whole rpm range like the newer Merc's and Audi's.

I done ALOT of research on this and wasnt sure which way to go at first.

I came to the idea of a supercharger setup as its cheaper and simpilar and more discreet then a turbo. I struggle to spend 15 grand (at least) only to get pulled over and defected coz it stands out.

Start researching, the more you look into it the more you start to realise trying to get a turbo setup (properly) for 15 grand or less is a bit un realistic.

Sure you can bolt some cheap 7-10 grand setup on but they are often cheap quality and don't include a fuel system.
You are talking 20-25 grand minimum for a quality kit.

But you can get good supercharger kits (harrop) for 11-13 grand.

All this is installed and tuned.

Some will disagree but do some research and see for yourself, all depends on what you want out of your car and weather you are going to just get hassled by the cops.

I'm going a harrop htv1900 supercharger.

The cheaper turbo setups struggle with quality long term as I found..
So much easier going a charger
