preference of boost.

Whether you decide on super or turbocharging, its not going to happen on a 1-2k budget.

supercharge is more reliable in the long run

supercharge is more reliable in the long run

Compared to what? A t25 on 5 psi on nearly anything will last damn near forever.

Let's try to give accurate information, shall we?

I have seen turbo cars run forever, it just depends on how it is treated. The BIGGEST things on ANY car, especially "force induction", is maintaining it properly, TUNING, TUNING, and TUNING. With a shitty tune, the FI pretty much means nothing. For the price, on a B18, I would go with a turbo.... On a turbo, there is a higher amount of HP per lbs. of boost. On a supercharger, if you want to up the boost you can't just do that by turning a knob or pressing a button. Also, with a B18, there are so many products out there to turbo it, it would be more cost efficient to go that route.


Also, you CAN turbo a car for 1k-2k, just have to look around. Try piecing together a turbo kit, it may come out less expensive.
