supercharge vs turbocharge

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 10:24 PM

ive fell in love with my car two seconds after i hit the accelerator. now i want to make it faster. whats preferred? if i add one or the other do i need to do anything else to it to get the best performance? i already put on a flow master and k&n air filter.

welcome to the forums.

you have a long way to go my friend.

look at around 10-15k to make everything work right.

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 10:29 PM

thanks. a little push in the right direction?

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 10:30 PM

what's your budget?

$5-$7

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 10:38 PM

you can buy a pack of smokes for that.

I would save a bit and get a t-lock and Gears.

whitemustang02 · October 17th, 2007, 10:39 PM

do u mean 500 to 700 or just saying that u have a tiny buget right now if that is the case i would say saving up is the ur best bet

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 10:44 PM

aren't we just funny?
i cant do anything to it yet. im still in iraq. but my budget has potential. right now i was looking at $5000 but im willing to pay more IF thats what it takes. i could easily sell and buy a faster one. ill never sell my first mustang.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 10:50 PM

so keep it and buy a v8

(this is coming from someone that has had a 2001 v6 as well)

come on now.. I know how much you make while in the sand box.

tax free at that.

get your ass back in the states and make that 6er quick or buy a GT/Mach/Cobra.

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 10:58 PM

im working with a 2006 v6. trust me, thats the first thing i would do if i didnt have a wedding to pay for. but thats first on the books. i just need some insight with mustangs. i work in a maintenance shop and ive got race f*ing fever. but all ive ever touched are diesels with no balls. i dont want anything thats gonna make my baby sound like an import. gimme a push.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 11:02 PM

diesels can be fun if tuned right

I am going to push you towards Gears first.

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 11:08 PM

i apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge when it comes to this. im new to this. everything has to be dumbed down for me. thanks for the advice. but what am i going to do with gears if i have nothing to make them go? maybe im not understanding this completely.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 11:22 PM

gears will make themselves go.

it's all good.

what branch are you in?

when you get a lower gear it takes less force for your engine to turn them thus your cars rpm's will rise faster.. thus.. you will go faster

alyssa · October 17th, 2007, 11:25 PM

alright...im catching on. so how do i know who the hell to trust to let touch my car? i wont have the time to do it myself.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 11:27 PM

well.. I suggest you find a local mustang forum and see what speed shop they trust.

if you were in San Diego I could give you a great one.

ByPopularDemand · October 17th, 2007, 11:33 PM

Intake, full exhaust with LT headers, underdrive pulley, 4.10 gears and a t lok, then a turbo kit like some others here did...id beef up my engine first tho

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 11:36 PM

^ welcome back man.
I haven't seem you for a while.

ByPopularDemand · October 17th, 2007, 11:38 PM

Thanks...yeah ive been slacking, I only get to post every once in a while

scubasteve041186 · October 17th, 2007, 11:40 PM

i would say for feeling get some gears and a t-lock. but if you got big plans ( always plan ahead so you don't buy stuff you get to throw away later ) look into an exhuast, headers, cai and some pullies with a tuner
