    Well I'm lookin to supercharge (or maybe turbo) my truck but I don't quite have the cash for a radix (now that I'm a starving college student) and would ike to know what other GOOD options are out there. I'm lookin to have maybe four grand saved by the end of summer.

    Thanks.

    I would look real hard at the sts turbo. Check this out. It is a lot to read but is very interesting conversation about turbo and sc.

    I would go with the turbo because it seems to be a true bolt on and gives tons of hp and torque. I dont have either one so I am not an expert.

    read the one that says holy crap just installed a turbo
