Okay so you have your car but it's not as fast as you'd like it to be. One of the biggest (certainly not the cheapest) ways to get Noticeable Power from your car is to Turbo or supercharge it.

That's your basic turbocharger. Of course there are shit tons of pipes and connective supports you need to install to your car if you wanna hook this beast up. It can be pretty complicated and if you're not a pro I suggest you don't go out trying to do it yourself.

I mean, Just look at this beast!





Have fun with that!

If turbo/super chargers are so complicated, why bother with them?
Because you're stupid. No, I'm sorry, It's because giving some car boost is a great way to give it some serious speed. I've seen a tuned Integra GS-R hit almost 300hp just by having a good turbocharger set up. That my friend, is not too shabby.

A turbocharger works by forcing extreme amounts of air into  your engine which is why they are called "Forced induction systems" Idealy you want to get 50% more power from your engine when installing a turbo kit, however it doesn't always work out that way but expect anywhere from 30-40% more power, which is still beastly.

Now when it comes to whether you want a turbo or supercharger it depends on your preference I suppose. The main difference is a supercharger runs off of a belt mechanism attached to your engine.   A turbo on the otherhand get's its power from the exhaust stream. So in theory Turbo's are more "effective" because it uses "wasted" energy. However Turbo's are often criticized for something called Turbo lag. You won't even notice the power of the turbos until you get into the higher RPM. 

Personally I wouldn't care which I have on my car. Either way you're going to spend a lot of money, and either way you're going to get a noticeable power boost. One important thing to note about boosting your car though. You're going to need some new gauges in your dashboard to monitor your oil pressure, boost level etc. Also you need to make sure your engine can handle all the compressed air being shoved into it. I wouldn't even consider boosting my car unless I had a built engine.

Also, sorry I don't update as much as I used to. I've been hella busy but I'm trying to get back into it.
