Default What Should I Do About My FI

Right now i have a supercharger but, i want more power. I really wish that i never got my supercharger because now i dont have the money to get my turbo. Right now i have two options
1- Save up to buy a turbo and keep the sc.
2- Trade my sc for money and be stuck with out injectors.

Plz Help

3- you could build up your SC with parts and probably get in the 250hp range.

If you're not satisfied with the power you're making now, you probably won't be with the added power to get you to 250whp. I've been there with the s/c. Don't get to focused on the numbers, the power band is not the great. If you really need the power and you're willing to spent the money, save for the turbo. Don't over look the benefits of running the s/c though. The warranty is worth a lot and compared to other factory import cars, a s/c tC with supporting mods ranks nicely.

I have everything done to the sc. I'm working on a new motor and I don't know what to do now. The sc hits max boost at 6 grand and it sucks.

^^^ Yeah... What's even worse was when I was had all that stuff and still got spanked by my friends car which only had a turbontics kit. No exhaust, no clutch/flywheel, nothing else. There's no way around it, the s/c doesn't compare. It's not fare to put the two side by side. You have a fast car now, just not as fast as others.

Well, if that's the case and you sell your SC, I think your going to be really dissapointed going back to stock.

I'd say, save for the turbo, then when you get the kit, sell your SC for whatever you can to recupe.

Why ____ed? I say save up too! Dont sell your SC until you have enough money to buy the turbo kit. You'll miss your charger.

LOL, your GF sounds like my GF. She was ____ed when I bought my kit (she wants a 10K engagement ring). But I told her this is my hobby and she needs to deal with it. She's been nice about it ever since. I feel your pain on the GF front bro. Put ur foot down and do what YOU want. Rant over LOL!!!

LOL!
I got some parts for my car, then my wife was like, "OK, your cut off"
then I bought some more parts and she was like, "OK, your cut off"
And what did I do last week.....I BOUGHT A TURBO KIT!
...and now she says I'm cut off!

I told her I still need to get a tune and a dyno, and she said, "OK, but after that, your cut off!!!"
