turbo vs. supercharger
I have been going back and forth about wanting to put in more power. I am not sure if i want to put in a turbo or supercharger. i have been doing so much reaserch i still am not sure. i like the supercharger because it is an instant power. i like the turbo because you can do so much to it. is it possible to put two turbos in a miata. If and when a person answers please do not be an *** about it.

Turborcharger. More torque and instant power everywhere. Also more horsepower.
Studies have shown that people who own superchargers are 67% more likely to own a cashmere sweater, commit sodomy, and develop Primary Idiopathic Polymyositis than those who own turbochargers.
Also, welcome to the forum, Steven.

Supercharger lag can be a bitch but when it spools up it will give you some serious top end!
Also, turbo whine is very annoying.
You need stage 2 heads and a stage 3 exhaust if you are even considering a turbo.

It depends on your goals, budget, and what characteristics you want out of the car. List that stuff and we can give you a better idea about which option is best. Also, is it your only car?
Just fyi this is a turbo forum, and people are going to haze the sh*t out of anyone who says anything about superchargers. Survive that and there is a wealth of knowledge here.
