Turbo/supercharger questions

ok guys, just a few questions:
which setup is more reliable?
which has better gas milage on everday driving conditions?
which will last longer? (milage wise)
which is cheaper to maintain?
what are pros and cons of each performance wise?
on a superharger will lower comp. pistons add hp or reliability?
just for kicks (i have no idea) can you use both at the same time?
what's the most power the stillen charger could yield?

thanks a lot im planning on getting one of these in the near future and still not very sure, so if you have any seperate opinions please tell.

Think about this.... there are VERY few parts to these "kits". The ONE part that works the most is the turbo. The rest is either Pipes or couplings or oil lines. Same for the SC.

So YOUR question should be which TURBO/SC is more reliable. That is NOT an easy answer

If this is an HONEST concern.... stop modding your car

Goes back to the 1st question, but if the pipes are NOT stainless steel they will rust

Define MAINTAIN? if you mean keep running.. refer to the above answer

This is NOT so simple, basiclly if your still thinking about Hlh's kit, you need to start over.

IF YOU JUST lower the Comp. ratio?

my advuce.. get a turbo.. find a shop that will CUSTOM make the pipe and do it that way. It is MUCH easier than you think
