well after months of driving the dc5.. i think i need more ommfph
i was thinking of getting a turbo kit... but soon realised that i thiink a supercharge is an easier option... and its reliablity these days...

first of all.. my integraz dc5 [auto] and no i aint going ot trade in for a type r or manual car... cuz it was present from parents.. a hand me down thing... so it is still my dads car..well parents car

ok so what do u guys think... should supercharge?
can i make or tell a workshop to custom make one.. for me
how much is it approx.

also is s/c worth it? or should i turbo...

i have $5000 to play with

* extra info: fully stock ..no mods

The Jackson Racing kit is only for Manual cars

I'm not aware of any other kit out there that is for the Auto, let alone the Aust Base.

I'm also 80% sure you will loose your air conditioner if you have one.

Turbo'in or SuperCharging or even adding serious NA mods to an Auto car is very very hard to do.

i dont think that budget would be sufficient for a supercharge setup. If you got 5k, i rekon go N/A. Thats plenty of $$$ to buy you some decent N/A mods.

$5000 goes a fair way NA though........

i read on this US based rsx forum and this guy had his car burnt to the ground after driving away from a workshop with the GReddy turbo kit...

supercharge is most effective with auto transmission though isn't it?
