(sorrie if there is a thread about this) Supercharger

I want to maybe SC or turbo my 96max. It seems like with a turbo, it requires lots of maintience vs a SC. is this tru? I prefer less maintaence. sorrie again if this is a repost. But i do LOVE THE blow-out valve sound.. (POOOSH) vs the SC whining sound (WHEE).

read the stickies man. theres threads dedicated to turbo vs sc.

sc = basically bolt right on if you have the right parts, power is there all the time, i would say it still needs maintenance like a turbo (maintenance = changing oil on time, using the right oil synthetic)

turbo = gotta figure out what size turbo to use, what style of piping to make, etc... theres more work to put on with a turbo, also requires same maintnance as sc if not more.)

I am just starting with this turbo stuff, but if you read on the stickies you can get ALOT more information from guys that know what they are talking about mroe than me.

no problem. but to be honest, If you cant understand what is stated on the stickies you should not try or sc or turbo yet.

Keep going over and over the stickies. and look at random post on the super/turbo forums.

I deff agree with (streetslegend) You gotta read and read and read to understand with detail about how the Superchargers work and the turbo as well. I mean many of us that are boosted can tell you this and that and you still would be lost. Good luck

Forget apologizing about the repost, you should be apologizing for misspelling a simple word like 'sorry'.
