VOTE! (Turbo vs. S/C) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I said in the long run turbo is better and cheaper. If you don't have to worry about a belt snapping or a car overheating you don't have to spend money on constantly refiling your meth bottle. Now you say what about exhaust and all of that. Even with a supercharger you need an exhaust and all of that. The blitz kit is $3400 + AEM meth kit $390 = $3800 + pulleys $250 = $4,050. You don't need pulleys for a turbocharger because you are already making more power w/o them. Plus you then need to buy an ems that'sll run you roughly $1000 = $5,050.00. Then you add how many times you refill your meth and buying a spare belt the cost is the same or more.

I'm not saying a supercharger is bad, I would buy one right now if I had the $$$.
