Turbo Question

[adorkable]

Hey everyone, Im new to this site, I usually don't post but just read the threads and enjoy most of the posts and information all of you posts. But here's my question, I have a 97 civic ex with a dc dac & dc headers (yea i know, that's all, jk i got rims, coilovers, catback, etc.., but i'll keep it short). Im thinking about getting a turbo kit for my car and was wondering what would you guys suggest? some of my friends say getting a super charger may be better, so Im sorta wondering what the differences are between a super charger and turbo. thankx for your time guyz!

Superchargers are belt-driven and drain power from your car to make power. Turbos are freewheeling but suffer from lag ... www.howstuffworks.com explains turbos really well ... http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question122.htm ... There's an article from them explaining the difference between the two. As for a turbo selection for your motor ... check out the GReddy kit. http://www.greddy.com/products/turbo_frame.htm

i wouldnt worry to much about turo lag, i doubt your gonna push that much boost (16 or more is were lag is noticable). but i agree with civic_on_air, check out the edelbrock kit, all i hear is good things.
