i have a 05 ep3 hb and i dont knwo wheather i should get the Greddy turbo kit or the jackson racing supercharger?? the supercharger is a grand less, and puts out more horsepower so.. whats your opinon?

 

wait wait ....

you saying a SC puts out more power than a Turbo!?

you got that mixed up...

SC is more convinent if for daily driver etc beter on your motor

turbo will put out more power, more expensive

 

yeah, a turbo will put out more power than a SC, but im going SC because i like to drive my car a lot, a turbo sort of takes away the drive ability for a DD. but its your car, you have the over all pick on what you wana do.

 

the SC said it would raise 80hp and the turbo said 57hp so i figured the SC would be a better option, and its eaiser to install.

 

I would go with the SC, its an easier install, puts out more HP, and is so much nicer for DD on the street than a turbo, instant boost and tourqe at any throttle position is awesome. Not to mention the SC will over time be more reliable than the turbo will be, bearings are under much less stress, no need for turbo timer and cool down, no worry about sludged oil lines etc.

 

yea and besides the turbo kit doesn't come with a intercooler so id have to go through the trouble to one of those also.

 

Turbo kit will put out more power, plain and simple.

SC owner here, i love it.
Easy to install, maintain, instant power.

 

If you have to ask which one you should get and thinkin a super charger puts out more power than a turbo, right behind my answer of saying neither and do more research, I would say super charger.

The install is much easier. Dont have to worry about oil lines, inter cooler, etc. Theres much more fab work involved with a turbo. Plus the difference in maintenance is pretty substancial too. Super charger pretty much after install only thing you gotta worry about is replacing the pulley maybe every 15k. If your turbo goes to **** your car wont run. Your sc goes to ****, you'll just be back at stock power.

But honestly research more, its one of the most drastic things you can do your car and deserves more thought and knowledge. Once you learn more about either system, and factor in your own driving habits which only you truely know, then you yourself will know which one to get.

Goodluck

 

what kind of gas mileage are you guys getting after the SC install, cause gas is getting VERY expensive down here in good ol' Alabamer.
