This Could Start A War Turbo Or Superchaged
This Could Start A War Turbo Or Superchaged. I have a 2008 ls With pretty much a stock motor... besides an AEM cai. Id really like to keep the intake.
My Question Which is Easier, Cheaper, and Performs better?
And... What kind of parts would i need to complete this build?
Thanks

well you have .2 more liters so that will give you a minimal edge lol.
if that is your goal then just go s/c, it'll probably be cheaper.
if you want more than that then turbo.

you cant lump all 3 into one or the other
supercharged - easier and cheaper
Turbocharged - performs better
but the supercharged is still awesome performance wise the turbocharger will be easier to get higher power out of it with the goals u r looking for i would go supercharged.

idk the exacts on your engine specs, but my buddy with a 2.2 eco in his cavy lssport is going s/c, so your internals are obviously good for it, and ****, the kit from GM doesn't even include a heat exchanger.

turbo is not better than supercharged it just depends what you want out of the car.
if you want a car that gets instant boost and a constant boost level throughout the powerband, then you want a supercharger.
if you want a car that lags (puts on flamesuit for the small turbo nutswingers excuses), but has a high peak power output and boost level, then you want a turbo, it's as easy as that. more importanlty with a turbo, is matching the right turbo to your engine, to minimize that lag.

u dont have to have a small turbo to not have lag, it's all in how you plan **** out. i know guys running 30r turbos on 2.0 with no lag...

to run with SSSCs you would just SC ur car because u would only be running 8 lbs of boost anyways so the motor doesnt get toasted after 3 years of use, but if u fun turbo u get get better numbers and hp but to get a durable well made warrentied turbo kit it might run u a pretty penny but if u wanna go ebay its ur car haha but i would go SC because its just more practical really
