hmmmm..how much would each set up cost if fully installed? if its a big $$$ difference...I would go with whats cheaper.....unless you are rich and can afford the more expensive choice..........I would think the turbo would produce more power though!

money really is no option i can spend as much as i want although the turbo would be MUCH cheaper about $1200 compared to $3800

rich bastard.....j/k.........go with the turbo....its not belt driven therefore it steals no power from the core of your engine.......it will need more time to "spool up".......but my guess is that it will give ya more power...and as you said it is cheaper than the charger.......so run with it baby!!!!!! :blob3:

either Twin turbo, or S/C nothing less.

Twin Turbo > S/C

I know that everyone is saying turbo this, turbo that, but how many people with turbos can actually reliably drive their cars EVERYDAY with NO problems. This may seem naive, but its just my opinion that until the whole turbo scene becomes more popular, and the producers produce a kit that is actually aimed at a daily driven, no problems kit, you cant beat the reliability of a supercharger. If you already have the kit, why not go ahead and put it on. Dont get me wrong, I know every power adder has its issues, but it just seems like turbos are such a headache and superchargers dont have that many issues comparitively speaking. Just my two cents.

HP perfrocmance has a nice tt kit fot the mustang that is good for dailey driving. I would turbo my car over supercharging it everyday. having a turbo is easier on your motor because it's not trying to turn a blower with the rest of the accessories

I would like to see your reasoning behind this. What examples do you have with this. We dont really have any turbo guys here but on some of the other boards there are. Daily drivers running over 600hp. Just dont see the reasoning with what you are saying. There are plenty of problems the come with superchargers as well. Its all in the setup and safe tune. If you dont put it in right than yeah, problems. If you lean it out and dont have a safe tune, than yeah - boom - problems.
