turbocharged vs. supercharged

[5ky11n3]

Greedy Twin turbo vs. Stillen supercharge?
I'm thinking about Greedy TT since Stillen SC requires a hood replacement which means extra cost.
How long does a turbo and supercharge last?
Thanks!

what is my favorite color?

You could buy 4 hoods for what the extra the turbo is going to cost!

How and where are you going to drive the car, how long are you going to keep it, what suspension and other mods are you contemplating, are you going to track it, etc.

There are TONS of threads on this topic here and it would be a very good idea to run the "search" functions and start brushing up on the topic, and then get more specific.

Going forced induction is a big step, and I think that there are more than a few people who get into it without fully appreciating the consequences (positive and negative) of what they are doing. This car has bountiful power and torque in its stock package. If you are a real "driver" then power is not where you put your first fistful of semollions...it is handling. At least on this car. And frankly, if you take this car and put the same amount of money into handling that you would put into an FI package, and then take the car to the track, the NA car with the handling package will wipe the floor with the FI car in the hands of an accomplished driver, the same driver piloting both vehicles. And you won't void your motor warranty or CARB status either.

Think about this in some depth and do your reading, and you will have lots of folks more than happy to help out on the forum.

And in answer to your question, an assiduously maintained FI car should get about 80% of the motor life of an NA car, but that is a VERY GENERAL estimate. IF you boost it one bar all the time, you won't! IF you mess up your air fuel ratio you might not get out the driveway before you hole the block. If you run a six pound pulley on a supercharger and you *****foot around in it, you might hardly get any change in lifespan...but then why have the power at all? Most folks that have that power, get ON IT...that is why they put the bugger into the car in the first place! Figure it this way, if you can't afford to blow it up and replace it.....don't do it. Go ahead and dream about it, but don't do it.

Good luck.
