To Turbo or to Supercharge.....

........That is the question.

I'm debating getting one or the other done. Surely the performance outputs of each are different as well as the cost of parts and labor, but I would be interested in getting some insight as to what everyone thinks........

Hi Sevan, it's for an 03 C4S. Trying to make it more in to a sleeper car, with an occassional track use......Buying a TT would be the best option, but I am such a big fan of the C4S's and their contours (much like the TT of course).....I've heard the Turbo Kit delivers about 400hp (up from the 320hp stock) and is only about $2-4K.

Supercharge, much more fun and the linear power blows away turbo lag!

How much is that RUF R upgrade.....Might be a little (or a lot out of the price range I'm willing to throw in to this car)..........

As for the Turbo kit, it's a company based out of Canada that I am in talks with....I want to see some evidence first but I've spoken with a couple shops in the Washington DC Metro area as well that are thinking of doing turbo kits......
