I’ll hate to get this into a turbo/supercharger, so I’ll just point out some basics. The turbo and the JRSC are two totally different types of FI. The JRSC will give you more-low end HP and torque and the HP curve will be pretty even throughout the RPM range. The JRSC is limited to how much HP you can make, since those compressors do create a lot of heat. JRSC is great if you going to do Autox or just want more HP all around the RPM range. Now the turbo will have more potential for my HP. But, keep in mind it will not give you that great HP in the lower RPM’s. It is a pretty good price for that kit, but you may want to check to see if it is 100% complete. You will want a turbo timer, intercooler, boost controller…and all the other tuning stuff like maybe injectors, fuel pump, FMU…depending on what boost level it is.

If you want something comparable to the turbo you may also want to look at a Vortech supercharger. These centrifugal superchargers are basically like a turbo.

I hope this helps a little.
