Default Big A$$ Turbo

I love Honda's, but my true love is with Toyota Supra MK IV (1993-1997). i was looking around at videos of them and found this supra built by BorgWarner Auto. Anyone want to try and put this turbo on a civic? j/k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQigvnPdXLc BorgWarner actually has a shop here in my town...might have to check them out

I am torn between a turbo and a supercharger for my civic, turbos are cheaper and can make more power....but i like the instant power and response of the super. unless there is a way to make the turbo spool up a lot faster without having to have a very elaborate setup , say around 2.3k or 2.5k RPM.

I'm from Longview, north east corner of Texas, I'm actually going to be in Houston next weekend then heading to south padre island for vacation , sucks that I'm going to be be busy all weekend that I'm in Houston, cause maybe we could have gotten together.

you could do a twin turbo set up lol. get a small turbo to spool low then a larger turbo to kick in at top rpm's. just a thought but don't know if that will actually work.

Yes it's called sequential compound turbocharging. I had them on my diesel.
