I was just wondering what you people would prefer.... A supercharged 325i or the same car with an AA turbo kit. Also, whats the price for each of them.. Thanks a lot....

turbo of course! aa turbo is around 10k aa sc is around 5k. But the turbo you get much more power out of it then u could with the sc. Then again, the sc is less complicated and cheaper, and probably a bit more reliable-less maintenance and such

turbo:-) there is always not enough HP's and turbo would defenatelly help. Also with the turbo u can choose different boost settings for each day. For a daily commute u wouldn't want to burn too much gas, so low boost, but if u are the the light and some ricer is showing off set it up to HIgh boost and fly away:-)

TURBO!!!!

however if u are just looking at some 260HP's and dont need more then supercharger would be the best bang for the $

If you want to achieve high HP numbers, then the turbo is your best bet. If you want a more linear power curve, then think about the blower. The thing with the turbo is power can come all of a sudden, say at 3500 RPM or so. The blower is basically on ""stand-by" all the time, but once that turbo spools up, it's the best feeling in the world
