Which system should i install on my Aveo. Also which of the 2 would require more work. Im pretty sure on the prices for both systems. but not sure on how difficult the installations may be.

turbo is cheaper and will be easier for you to get working on the aveo.....but i would suggest researching alot more info.....most people who just get a car want to go with forced induction but know nothing on the subject and we all know thats how things break

I had an 89 Probe GT Turbo. But it crapped out. I was leaning towards it but i had just seen and read about a few supercharged ones....i also know supercharging doesnt give as much power. so looks like ill save up the money and get me a turbo system.

Sweet. I had a 91 Probe GT for awhile and it was fun to drive!Then I blew the head gasket and said forget it, then I went and got the Aveo! turbo probes rock! But i've moved on to a turbo 280zx

Those 1st gen PGTs are awesome, what other car can you buy for $1200 and make run 13s for $500 in parts?

Wow.... you guys are bad... I mean... this has allready been covered on one post way back.... what were you thinking Anyways..... feel free to drop by www.daewootech.com if you feel like looking at some other "technical" debates about Supercharger vs Turbochager. Here is the link to the subject Brian was talking about..... aveoclub.proboards26.com/index.cgi?board=04tur&action=display&thread=1129651374My personal opinion..... turbo is best.... superchargers tend to be easier to install and setup if there is a kit readilly avaialble.... but custom supercharger installs can be a huge pain.... lots of times it's hard to get it into a position where you can find a replacement belt the right size without screwing up the belt tension of the entire system. Plus.... turbochargers use "waste energy" in your exhaust where as the supercharer sucks power right off your crankshaft. Turbochargers are typcially more efficent.... so you will make more power at the same boost levels. Superchargers increase boost pressure with increase in RPM.... so it's a false assumption that the supercharger makes boost faster than a turbo. A correctly sized turbo setup for similar boost (say 7psi) can be spooled up to 7psi by 2200RPM and continue to hold that level of boost all the way up to redline. The supercharger on the other hand.... it might only be making 3psi at 2200 RPM.... it might take until 4000RPM until it hits it's designed boost level. Superchargers give very linear power outputs because it adds boost in direct proportion to engine RPM..... where as you will find a turbocharger system runs just like it's naturally aspirated and then boom.... the turbo spools up and your horsepower nearly doubles over a period of 500RPM. People get use to this huge jump in power and call anything before it "turbo lag" In reality... it's just running it's normally aspirated power levels... and you would find that the supercharger isn't helping all that much at those lower RPM.
