What is more bang for your buck?
Is it worth it?

How about an AC charged turbo?

I don't ever regret going turbo.....but I also kind of wish I had experienced both. The thing I don't like about the turbo compared to the supercharger, the turbo just seems....violent. I don't know of a better word. The supercharger is directly driven off the engine, so the power is more gradual like having a big block instead of an inline six...

So, if I were to do it again, I would find a way to get a ride in both and see which I like better. M3Jokster is making over 500rwhp on a supercharger....not too shabby!

How about the new 335i with the twin turbo. Get the naturally asperated with the inline bmw feel.
