"The main difference is that Turbo's run off of your exhaust and blowers run off of your crank. Superchargers are more instant boost than turbo's. Torbo's have that notorious "turbo lag"

With turbo's you will also have to alter your exhaust, buy differend headers, etc...

You will also have to buy a intercooler whereas with a blower you don't HAVE TO, but you can."

This is definitely not coming from a person with experience having a Turbo V8. I have a Turbo 4.6 and have had one since August. It is awesome and if he can swing the money, it would definitely be the best choice. I have a TDC Stage II kit and is tons faster at the same boost level than my V2 S-trim ever was. As far as turbo lag, it is minimal at best with a V8. I see full boost by 3400 rpms running a T-76 whether it's 5 psi or 15 psi. That is alot sooner than 8 psi from the Vortech at 6K. If you run a T-66 or 60-1, you will see boost alot sooner. We can get into Hybrids & Ceramic bearings which impacts spool time, but that's another story. Also the TDC kits come 100% complete with everything.
