Both. Use a supercharger to force your turbo to spool faster.

What would you get first the super or turbo charger? Or would you get both at the same time? And probably haven't been looking right but I haven't been able to find a turbocharger, any good websites you know of?

their isnt one that is better than the other it all depends on what your intentions are.

for a v6 engine like the 350z twin turbocharged is the most ideal very efficient. single turbo if you run straight inline 6.

but then again it all depends on what you want to use it for. I don't like superchargers because the turbo sounds so much better it doesnt have that annoying whining sound.

turbos uses exhaust gases which is more efficient while the supercharger generates its power from the crankshaft.....

end of the day i went twin turbo and I don't regret it one bit.

You would do it at the same time because it would be custom setup. I mean... I guess technically you could do one of the other and then add on to it lol. However, I think he was poking some fun at you.

Turbo's make more power, make more torque, and tend to cause more stress all around the car, and you have to "build boost".

Superchargers, the power is instantaneous, less power, less torque, somewhat more reliable though.

You'd have to choose what you want by doing research, creating a budget, and talking to some shops. Most likely, this was just another thread with someone dreaming.
