i dont know a single thing about turbos but i have driven a 470hp in a n/a mustang before and it was fun so umm yeah well sumone just give me insight on this. i want to build a ka powered 240sx to be a daily driver and something that runs mid 12s. i guess 300 or so horses on a s13 and about 320 on a s14 would do that right? oh yeah and i think i wud rather use a supercharger rather than turbo. unless theyre pretty similar which makes me sound like a dumbass.

dood, turbo is way better than SC. You can drive all day and never boost on a turbo setup where SC is always boosting. Especially if you have a nice electronic boost controller you can lower the boost for everyday driving, then at a stop lite or whatever ;) you can push a button and be @ max boost in a second ! very nice !

and by never boost he doesn't mean "turn off boost completely", but the fact that if u don't punch the pedal, the car won't make boost, so if ur real careful u can have as many psi available as u want, yet never touch them until needed.
