Wow... somethings id like to put to bed here...

Superchargers are better for everyday driving due to heat from a turbo. (Im saying overall)

Also.....

Quote:
20lbs of boost is different on a supercharger. a turbo could do it on a daily driver but get hot and break after a little while. 20lbs on a super charger sounds like an alcohol dragster. thats alot of boost on a super charger. i would never go over 12, and even thats high. 7 or 8 is perfect w/o an intercooler


and even 12 is pushin it. maybe not past 10


sOOOOOOOOOOO untrue... people are running upwards of 30psi in daily driven cars with twin screw superchargers, YES they are built to take that, they run the 20ish PSI pully on the street, and then change the pully and tune at the track for 30PSI. BUT it is possible.

That said I think anything more than 10 PSI is a waste on the street cause you will never hook with that much HP.

I've been looking at some pictures of 1st gens, and I think changing out the taillight trim for chrome would look pretty good.

those wheels are nice but i would leave those for a corvette or a viper. but thats what i think. and im young too
Didn't even know that supercharger manufacturers offer warranties
Must come with a premium on price though
