I was think about supercharging or turbocharging my cobalt but wasn't sure which one to choose, so I was wondering what everyone has been most satisfied with?

 

Depends what you're looking for as far as results bro.. You can be happy with either one...

 

truff. but SC is cheaper/easier to install. but turbo is more power and easier. but costly/expensive.

SC - 1500-2000 at the most

TC- 2500-???? lol some guys on here around 6000.

 

the TVS prices pretty cheap

 

I'm kinda looking for a decent amount of power and is basically easy to manage

 

these same threads pop up once every few days

 

This sounds like the blonde vs brunette thing??

 

buy my supercharger!

 

how much are you asking for it?

 

from what i under stand, if you want a quick getup and go, you go super charger, since its pully driven, it dosent have a lag and nets a averege of 60hp,
a turbo has a lag on it do to it being exhust fuled, but it also nets you 100+hp
if you cant make up your mind, go procharger

 

the blower has more like a 100whp gain for our cars.... turbo is anywhere from 80whp-250whp gains depending on turbo, boost levels, and how deep your pockets are

 

More than 60 hp can be had with a blower.

 

Personal preference it depends really what your going for and what you plan on spending.

 

i wasnt being exact on any number, a averege of 60 for super, it can go higher or lower depending on what you got,


and turbos can go easily 100 or more (notice the +)

 

sc set up as said is cheaper( not as much top power) but if ur a n/a car ur block needs built to acheave enough power b4 u will reach top end for the turbo or supercharger

Turbo is alot more power( more than u need ) and cost quite a bit more... but also turbo all u need is a manfold and its definatly easly transferable car to car. ... alot more expesive from what i have learned/

 

I am certainly hoping for 100 hp in my car. We shall see, with the SC.

 

i was just saying the average gain for a blower is 100whp. the LE5 guys see 130whp gains with smaller pulleys

 

does the turbo puts a little bit more ware on the motor?

 

hunter must be them smoked taillights giveing you a good HP boost :-)

 

im totally having a hard time trying to decide if you're disagreeing with me, or just making an innocent (weird) comment..

 

anything you do. either sc or tc its going to ware the engine. anything FI will ware your motor quicker.

 

with the rate guys are turboing there LSJ's, supercharing your car is very cheap in comparision to turboing your car, your looking at about 1000 in parts at most!, compared to a minimum of around 2000 dollars for a turbo set up, it all breaks down into what you want out of the car, a car with 250 s/c'd is a totally different car then with 250 turbo'd. think about it and see ultimetley what you want, then start buying parts.

 

Where can you find parts? Also whats up with procharger I hear people talking about it but I cant find one for L61

 

well start with doing research, finding out whats really going to happen, then find out if your going to be able to tackle it yourself, or pay somebody to do it, and factor that price as well, since youll need to pay for tuning/ dyno time as well

youll have to scavage around the classifieds section as well as many supporting vendors here for parts, get a solid list of parts you need and know what you do and dont need.

 

i was just reading your mods and saw smoked tailights first, made remember a huy who said his shorty antenna gave him 1 hp,


i know you dont have smoked lights as a performance mod, but it made me think of it
