Yea... I'll ok' that to some point, but I don't know what you mean by 'rebuilt' Are you talking about rebuilding the engine? If so you just do that to get it boost ready (ie. lower compression). You would have to do the same with the Supercharger if you were going to run much boost.
The only real problem with a turbo is it does actually affect engine life more than a SC. Other than that, My opinion is turbo all the way! Jon |
