+1 on that.
I'm tired of seeing this thread title. OP did NOT research. If he did, he would have found 10million S/C'er vs Turbo threads.
I did type in and did alot of research but people tell me that superchargers are better for the money but when you talk about turbos you can get more boost but if you dont know what you are doing then you can blow up your motor i didnt find any comp and contrast threads so this is why one was made PWNT

y r u worrying about boost? us hould be worrying bout is how much HP ur gonna make not how much boost. the more the boost on a car the engine will blow. ur worrying bout the wrong thing. SC people are running 9/11/12psi pullies. stock is 7. people that are running Turbos at 8psi are pushing about 290 ish u will never get that much with a 9lb pully for a SC

Yeah i understand that then how much can stock internals handle on boost.

Okay here it is. 300WHP out of a S/C requires atleast a 12lb pulley, full exhaust, meth inj, and an insanely aggressive tune.
300WHP out of a turbo requires a basic kit, full exhaust, no meth, 10-11PSI, and a conservative tune.
I managed to make more power than that S/C did (I think he was on a DynoJet which reads 10-15% higher than a DD), out of the same amount of boost, on a conservative street tune, with less stuff (no pulleys, no meth, no pro-tune, no clutch, no flywheel).
The only thing good about the TRD S/C, is the warranty. If you're going to swap the pulley for some more power, then the turbo should have been your original choice.

ORLY?
Then I guess you need to learn "HOW" to search.

There fixed that part for you.

yeah thats alil too much to try and make a SC even come close to a turbokit. to much of a hassle when u could gotten a turbo to begin with.
stock internals can handle about 300-330ish? and stock clutch if that. i could be wrong though

Again, that was with the rather poorly designed TRD vortex supercharger. If a properly designed Eaton TVS R1050 or R1320 setup were kitted, you would probably see it make a run for the turbo. The R1320 is oversized for the tC but runs 72% efficiency @ 13k shaft RPM and puts out 1.9 bar (that's 27 psi).
Oh how I wish I had a tC and a TIG welder to play with.

Domo laughs, but I was seriously considering doing one. Only problem is I couldn't figure out how to get the charge temp feeding the s/c cool enough, running meth through an Eaton is a no-no because the alcohol gets into the sealed bearings and displaces the oil.
Ended up scrapping the concept, now it's going All Turbo!
