Supercharge vs Turbo
I'm in the market for boosting my 2017 Toyota 86.
I know both come with their own positives and negatives. But, which is best for the 86? Thanks in advance! |

You want top end power and don't care about waiting for power? Turbo.
You want consistent torque boost off the line? Supercharger Nothing is "best". It depends on what the driver wants. |

Pros for Super:
- Instant throttle response - Low maintenance (on most kits) and less need for monitoring - Great midrange torque (on twin screw) - Great whine noise (on some types of kits) Pros for Turbo: - Fuel economy off boost is going to be considerably better - More 'feeling' of speed (during rush of acceleration) (this is also subjective) - More options to add power - Turbo noises |

Ended up going SC myself because I like the immediate torque.

Another pro for supercharger is you can keep your header if you already have one.

Yeah that's a good point - there are a couple kits that do UEL turbo manifolds. I personally prefer EL over UEL so I guess I'm lucky if I ever go turbo

To me the big catch on a stock motor is that a supercharger plus header gets you fairly close to where the turbo gets you and without the added complexity.
