Default Re: Superchargers -vs- Turbochargers

everyone has there own opinions of this one....and though I dont know much about hondas I can speak from my personal experience. I have a Maxima with a Vortech V2 centrifugal S/C...and it does not hit full boost until redline....while guys running T3/T4 on there maximas are achieving full boost around 3K. But with the maxima it has been proven that the aftermarker S/C is more reliable than an aftermarket turbo kit. WHich one is better? You make the choice...I went with S/C for the reliability issues. I have just as much money in this set up as I would have had if I would have gone turbo, so it was not a money thing for me. And yes alot of supercharger kits do come with BOV's but they are called bypass valves and they are almost inaudible. But you can do what I have done and put a HKS SSQV on there and make all the racket in the world.

--good luck with which ever one you choose.
