Default turbo vs n/a vs. s/c vs. N20

I highly recommend for those asking the question of which setup is better...to pick up the new edition of Super Street. There are a few good articles talking about pros and cons and even the #'s of some matchups. Turbo vs. N/A, Super vs. Turbo, and then the same as my title above...all 4 vs. each other. Check it out, some good articles!

It really all depends on the application, if your running and 1/8th N20 might be better the a turbo.

And then most people factory in warranty or install time...

it's about 4 seperate articles on these different discussions...just go out and spend the 5-6 bucks for the magazine. If this is something you have multiple questions about...shouldn't it be worth the 5-6 bucks?

yeah, it's just a pain for me to pack up all 3 kids and go to the book store, and then they all want something, so a trip to pick up one mag usually ends up costing me $50! Plus I gotta take the Pacifica, annd that thing sucks gas!!!
But I guess that's just my issue!!!

Default Article on boost

I dont see any summary on the article
I bet the results are no different than what has been found over the last 20 years.
SC is most dependable with broadest powerband,
N2O can burn out your seals and internals within 35k miles and
turbo has best mpg vs power bang for buck but TRUE BOOST really only comes in at 4000 rpm.
If TRD decided that SC was best, that's good enough for me.

^^it's not one article but multiple articles and it's s/c vs t/c, N20 vs. n/a, turbo vs. n/a. All it does is show some actual numbers and costs and life spans of those with the applications. It also shows all the different turbos, s/c's, and N20 systems and their prices and apps, then it also gets the opinions (pros and cons) from people in the industry (Skunk2, Turbonetics, Holley) about the 4 different levels of tuning your cars. It's just a good article that might help some people decide by looking through avenues they might not have explored be4. Damn good articles IMO
