Default Blower or Turbo
What is better for all around power, cost, realability? A supercharger or twin turbo? Which one offers most power? I have a pumped up dodge that has massive turbo whine, which i just love, so i am of course partial to turbos. Whats everyones take on this. What kind of turbos would it take? I have a tubo program but cant find it.

Many people I know with the 5.0's LOVE turbos. And you may laugh.but the same kind turbo you have on your dodge is what some like to use. HOLSETT i believe is the name of it. That is for a single turbo setup. But if you want a prefabed kit check out. www.turbopeople.com www.turborides.com www.turboford.com

Right now I am in the NITROUS fase. next is the turbo fase for the power and flexiblity on boost.

Your right on the type of turbo the dodge has a Holsett with the 21CM housing (automatic). Sticks have a smaller housing. That is interesting though I could upgrade the dodges turbo to a dual and then......ah power

You would make some pretty evil #'s with twin T3/T4's.... And yeah, turbomustangs.com is probably my favorite site on the web. (after this one of course)
