yea, ive been looking at getting a STS turbo kit. Seems like a better addon than a supercharger. Plus I just love the jet engine noise compared to the supercharger whine.

You should hear the sound of a remote mount sucking up a gallon of water. Gurgle, gurgle, pop, bang. Nice thing 'bout a turbo is the unlimited top end. Just turn the boost up. No pulley change. Nice thing 'bout a supercharger is the noise it doesn't make; Gurgle.......

Forgot to answer question. As was mentioned the difference in the price is that the parts will bolt right into place without any fuss. For that kind of $$ I would seriously look into fabbing a turbo that mounts off the exhaust manifolds in the engine bay.

Nope. I mean there are a hundred different supercharger names out there. I've seen a few of the magnum threads in the forums, but haven't checked them out. Are the procharger, and magnums good?
