Exclamation Turbocharger VS. Supercharger



Hey, i just swapped a K20A2 into my civic, and i was wondering

Can anyone help me weigh the pro's and con's of having a turbo

i would go with turbo on that one i think the JR SC doesnt make all that much power

the street kit made 53hp

the race kit made like 78hp


with a turbo the potential will be greater
