HI can you help me please.I dont know what to choose.Supercharger or turbo kit for my mustang v6.Same price so what the diff?THx for help[/b]

[itschristorres8]

They are only the same price if your getting a certain type of turbo
s/c kits are generally cheaper

what kinda of mustang do oyu have and what kind of power are you looking for?
that'll help choose

2006 v6,I'm thinking of buying supercharger PROCHARGER Satin Finish HO Intercooled V6 Supercharger System 7-9 PSI.what you think?

[ManThatStangs]

generally.. superchargers compress air in the manifold intake.. turbos used your already spent exhaust to push more oxygen into the intake... thus reasoning "lag" is created while the turbo is spooling up, if you are looking for maximum power off the line and all throughout the gears you should check out getting maybe a vortec supercharger or paxton makes some nice kits also.. only con to all these pros is that with a supercharger setup you'll almost certianlly notice a drop in mileage due to the engine having to manually crank the supercharger instead of the spent exhaust gasses spooling a turbo, actually i have seen some really interesting numbers when it comes to how turbo kits frequentally increase miles per gallon in anthing from 2.0 to 3.0L engines..

if i myself wanted to aspirate a stock 3.8 i would go with this http://www.3.8mustang.com/performanc...viewprod&num=3

theres only one turbo kit I've seen for the 05+v6s and i dont kno which site has it.
it does cost about the same hasa porcharger but once again
how much power are you looking for?
if you do buy a s/c kit i would go to www.vmptuning.com
they sell a vortech kit and a VERY GOOD TUNE for it on the xcal2 or livewire.
how do i know?
because justins wife has one! and it makes good power
the site is down right now but i believe its 375rwhp on a stock motor...im unsure on the times

when you look at Supercharger PSI vs Turbo PSI the turbo will prodcure more power. if you have a S/C running at 9 psi and a turbo at 9 psi you will see bigger gains with the turbo because there is no parasitic power loss from the engine belt. turbo's will usually be more expensive also, because tuning and and other parts such as a turbo timer add up to more expensises than a s/c would cost. if you are looking at every day driving and bigger numbers in power and torque throughout the rpm's then get s s/c. if you are looking to drag then get turbo... (the last part is my opinion btw)

diddo

[Ninjawafers!]

personally i would like to put an Eaton M90 on my car.. i know it doesnt give that much more hp... but i just love those style blowers... i like the twin screw better.. but the roots is nice... and nice power throughout the rpms... too bad i dont have the money or parts or time for it... well i would have the time to do it... just not the know how and what all id need.. i know i could look it up but i dont wanna... itll just make me want it more lol... ok end of rant

[ManThatStangs]

i think the people that make duct tape make a install kit.. it comes with the optional superglue blow off valve..

[ManThatStangs]

j/k

[ManThatStangs]

anyways.. nm this random meaningless chatter.. heres a link of about 4 different supercharger kits for the 3.8 if thats what your runnin.. hope it helps you make your decision

Wrong, I'm pretty sure a turbo setup is going to put down better power numbers and torque numbers than any s/c made for the v6. The only exception to this would be a(an) m112/KB and that might make more torque off the line but eventually the turbo (tq wise) will catch up

[itschristorres8]

actually the few that run the m90 or m112 blowers on the 3.8L make great low end power...

3.8coastie is right about the s/c llosing power from the belt...actually loses about 20-40hp
doesnt mean procharger and vortech dont make AWSOME power...
theres 1000hp cars with a vortech or novi s.c

www.vmptuning.com is dead link. also, does anyone know of any complete turbo kits for the 4.0 V6 2006 Mustang (I can only find Supercharger kits)

the turbo will catch up though and make more torque in the end

off the line roots and twin screw will always be king for now

and the really crazy part...vortech designs all their products solely on a computer system.. no physical testing at all... and evidentally they are good at what they do
