Actually, it's on the top "right" corner of the screen!

I'll see if I can summarize. Being a 4 banger, twin-turbo really isn't an issue. A single turbo will, however, provide you with more power than a supercharger. At higher cost, both financially and in engine wear and tear.

Turbo=More power, more torque, earlier kick-in, more engine wear, more cost.

Super=Longer engine life, later kick-in (centrifugal type includes Vortech and Comptech), cheaper to install.

What kind of internet connection do you have? DSL and/or Cable will complete any search within seconds.

You're in the wrong area if you're looking for information on this topic. Check out "Under the Hood"

we're all new at one point so it's all good. and if it weren't for repeated posts, there wouldn't be much new material around here. you'll find a lot of reading on the subject. about 60% will be a waste, and then you'll hit a post that shows you the light and is exactly what you're looking for.

personally, sc would be my suggestion for what has already been said. welcome to the boards.

Pick up the latest copy of Turbo magazine with cjb80's yelo S2K on the cover. That'll be a good start for you.
