Default Turbo or SC

Need help with a Turbo or something,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So i was driving on the 5north going to La, and i saw a nice looking silver 350z, and i wanted to know what kit he had, so i sped up next to him, and he rolled down his window, (on the funny side, i rollled my window down first, and then he saw me, and i said roll down window, and the guy opened his door on the freeway... but then he realized he was driving and then he closed it and then opened his window,)
so i asked him. what kind of kit is that, he said NIZMO, and i said cool. thanks, and then he floored it, ive heard nothing like that before, a big roar and a fat blow off valve, and i said damn that sounds so crazy ... so i sped up and passed him, and then i saw a fat intercooloer,)

now i want turbo, but im scared from all the horror stories i heard from engines blowing up and blah blah, so is a supercharger better? or what?
anyone have any insight?

If you want it to be cool,

You're really going to hate yourself for doing it-- Its so expensive, and you really have to know what your doing, and understand a lot about your car.


There is a huge amount of information on the F/I section of this forum, take a look.

Twin turbo would be the way to go. but


So much to say, just do some research, and ask a lot of specific questions.

If it sounded as bad a$$ as you said it was likely the new Flux charger out for the Z. Good low end TQ with nice top end pull and its safer than a turbo. Google it and order one

you better expect to have at least 30k for 500Whp....what ever you do, make sure you get a reputable shop even if it 's more exspensive in the begining because it will cost you a lot more to fix the bad work if you go with a sh**ty shop. I had learned from experience.
