ive been told a super charger is the best way to go so it has a little lag it wont kill your engine as much asthe turbo if im wrong my bad but this info has been filtered to me so i wasnt the first person that was wrong
The issue of you cannot drive long distances with a turbo because its bad for the engine is pure BS! How do I know? Because since 1986 I have owned several turbocharged cars and I do drive them. I comute to work each day an average of a 100 miles,not only that but the wife and I love to travel several times a year. None of my turbocharged cars have ever blown an engine, Hell the only thing I have ever had to do to any of them is replace the timing belts and I do this about every 70,000 miles. I have one car right now that I bought brand new in April of 89 I drive that car everyday to and from work and it has made several hauls across country it has 186,000 miles on it, not one single engine failure to date. The only thing that has ever been done to the engine is replacement of the timing belts, I've done this 3 times in the life of this engine. Oh and I did replace the alternator, NONE of these problems were related to the turbocharger!
:rolleyes:
