[QUOTE="Zeroed, post: 269856, member: 98"] No you got me wrong... I was saying the price is somewhat steep compared to a bolt-on turbocharger kit with a reconditioned turbo, wearable parts replaced and a few parts changed for reliability and power gains, while using the stock engine. I know its an unfair comparison, the supercharger is more reliable, has lower consumption and has much more low end power which is good for everyday driving... which is what people pursuing comfort may want. But for the performance minded, the power gains on the turbo charger with around the same budget is, frankly, higher than that of the supercharger, although with higher maintenance. Which is why I said the price was rather steep... and that I wouldnt think twice about getting a supercharger instead of a turbo if the price was more attractive... since both supercharger and turbo bolt-on kits of that budget uses reconditioned and reliable parts on the same 1.8 engine. :) Note: Im not complaining about the price or asking you to lower it, but just voicing out my opinion since I was initially asked about it. I also understand that the supercharger has a market of its own and a certain coolness - "My car is supercharged!" - how cool is that? But I was only saying If the price wasnt so steep... ;) [/QUOTE]
