With mild boost (6-10 psi) it all depends on tuning. The 5SFE can probably handle 10 psi as a daily driver... but you'd have to be very meticulous about the fuel tuning and the cooling/lube. There will be very little difference between a supercharged 5S and a turbo 5S. The engine will feel more strain supercharged because superchargers are usually on constant boost, but if it's tuned well, the engine should last. A turbo will actually be a bit more dangerous because various failures can cause overboost amougst tons of other scenarios. Turbos also need cooling time while superchargers typically don't run as hot as turbos. It's a matter of prefrence. A turbo set-up has future build potential. A supercharger is limited to the size of the pulley and the blower. Consynx: yeah... I didn't mention price issues and buildability mostly because I'd figure the people involved with the arguing know that already. The 3SGTE, as strong as it is in stock trim... won't live long beyond 15 psi with stock pistons... The 5SFE, IMO, probably won't live long beyond 12 psi without pistons and rods. I'd also reccomend to itchy, he should be very careful boosting beyond 10 psi... because running a little lean can cause complete failure... and that has been the most consistant thing with custom turbo kits... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
