[QUOTE="19COBRA93, post: 1338581, member: 10462"] I'll agree that turbos are a little more "involved" and require some general knowledge of how they work to get them to perform efficiently. It's not a big deal really. As far as what's better on the street, it's really a matter of oppinion (as many internet battles have shown us), but from my experience, the turbo is a much better street performer than a supercharger. I have had two different superchargers in the past as well, so I speak from actual experience with both types of power adders. There are three things I REALLY like about the turbo...Torque, reliability, and the ease of adjustable boost. But, the supercharger can't be beat in ease of installation, availability, support, and price. I have a lot of "followers" around here who, once they see me at the track, always ask me what I suggest they do to their mustang to increase power. I ask them a few basic questions, and based on those replies, I almost always recommend a supercharger simply because they are easy to install, and can produce more than enough power for the basic enthusiast, and a turbo can get you into trouble quick if you don't have all the right supporting items simply because of the ability to raise boost so easily. If they have more automotive knowledge than the typical car guy I may suggest a turbo. I also think that similarly equipped mustangs, one with a turbo, and one with an equally capable supercharger, will perform nearly the same at the track. They are both strong in different areas. In the end, it's pretty much a toss up. I suggest studying everything you can on both subjects and form an oppinion of your own. Listen to people with actual experience, not hearsay. Then decide which one will work best, and fit YOUR needs. [/QUOTE]
