zzp s/c or zzp t/c 2.4 kit? pros n cons?

I was looking at zzps stage 2 supercharger kit and it was just under 3 grand. The t/c stage 2 kit was also just under 3 grand(without installation and tune though). Which one would be the better one to get? which one would produce more power. ZZP claims that that the stage 1 s/c kit makes 225hp and stage 2 make 25hp more so 250? What does the stage 2 t/c kit do in hp? Any other kind of helpful info about the zzp kits would be great!

Isn't like 4-5am over there in the US??!??? O.o? you dont sleep?

and about the kits, is all in the TUNE, tune will determine how much hp you will be making at the end.
also you need to post your goals,
what you want out of it,
how much hp you want
etc etc

depends on what you want. If you just want some extra power piece together a sc kit... if you plan on going 300+whp go turbo.

I suggest turbo. Its easier to control boost levels. And you also have the capability of yielding more power compared to a blower imo. I also feel that its a more simple install.

Turbo for more power.


Though if I did Id go sc. Most of the sc parts are oem which means if something breaks its easier to get a replacement.

s/c kit equals pretty fast
t/c kit equals beating s/c car
t/c kit also = savings account for t/c car problems
