I would ask if you Hot-Dog have had a turbo charged gas or a supercharged engine at all. You are right a turbo does cost more but I disagree with there being little advantage.Quote:

OP think about all of these responses. Look at the ones from people with no experiance in superchargers or turbos. Look at how many people are putting turbos on there trucks. Go look at the fastest time slips and see what everyone is running. The fastest 7 people on the list all have turbos except for one that is running N2O. So how fast do you want to be?
like i said, if you want to drag race, then get a turbo. if you just want a fun street truck i doubt a supercharger is limiting you very much, they do respond better and make more torque, so there are disadvantages and advantages.
turbos produce more torque!!!!! thats why you see diesels with them. if i wanted a True daily driven vehicle i would consider a maggie, but for a toy a turbo was my weapon of choice.Quote:

now i do have more money into other **** that isnt needed to start off with or what average person would choose, just stating a turbo kit is far less money then a maggie. you can self build a turbo kit you cant self build a maggie
GO TURBO!!! :burnrub:
