When you go for a turbo/supercharger what are the things you keep in mind?
Stock FRS, stock exhaust, stock everything! I want to go turbo with my car, can I just buy a turbo kit. Get it installed and tune the car's software or do I have to do more?
Should I change the axle, driveshaft and the differential?
Should I change anything in the exhaust?
Which turbo should I get? They are all good. How do you guys go by it? |
Well for the question between supercharger and turbo, it comes down to a few things. Well from our experience with customers there is definitely a trend for certain aspects. Here are some questions to ask yourself.

1. Do you daily drive the car and use to big V8 torque and response?
- Supercharger
