For reasons of my own I opted to get the naturally aspirated version instead of the turbo- but Im now thinking perhaps a year down the road I might want to add a little extra oomph Amongst brakes, perhaps suspension and other things I was considering a supercharger apposed to a turbo kit.What do you guys recon?Charge it or not?

Try looking for some of them and you'll get some pretty handy information.

Can't be much difference in cost from purchasing a blower from someone like Capa.

Guest Guests Posted 24/10/08 03:40 AM Share Posted 24/10/08 03:40 AM Then you can sell your NA motor & recoup some of the costs as well Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50987-to-charge-or-not-to-charge/#findComment-754787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you will kick youself silly as many others and I have done.Far more costly to supercharge an FG then to upgrade to a T.I.B.
