    why supercharger? something different from the crowd?
    supercharging your engine wont get as much power as turbo charging ...

    depends on wat u want...if u want more low end power then go supercharge...but if u want more topend power go for turbo

    I like superchargers for the reason that the torque curve is more linear. Balls from the get-go

    check www.capa.com.au for jackson racing superchargers and vortec superchargers. They have hks kits too.

    Not bad, but turbo better value for money and heaps more power.

    I'd go turbo charging, but upgrade the reliability of the engine while your at it. So it doesn't blow..

    You should be able to pick up a turbo kit for cheap $$ when compared to a supercharger which would be somewhat of a custom job.

    As for reliability, theres no need to go into engine internals if your only looking for a power upgrade. A nice fmic, bigger injectors and a good tune will see some really good power increases whilst not risking any damage.

    When you consider you can get the full kit for a d series for ~2,500 I would have to same that is relatively cheap as chips....

    yep, I'd agree with that, but would you want new or used? I don't want used. New the kits are pretty much the same. If you look hard enough, you would find heaps of second hand supercharger stuff from the states for real cheap too. Don't get me wrong, I would turbo over supercharger but any would be great.
