Trying to decide between Turbo vs Supercharger for my stock 370z.

Looking for a break down in relation to Performance, Maintenance between the 2.

I am not a track person. Never will be...so looking to see which option i should go with... I simply just want to add a little vroom vroom to my Z.

Any info would be appreciated.

thanks

Question for you, have you ever driven a forced induction vehicle? It's definitely a different feel between the two. (Granted, there's also a difference between a 2.0L Turbo 4, and a 3.7L supercharged 6).

I've got both a turbocharged VW and supercharged Z. The VW turbo takes a second to kick in when you hit the throttle and hits peak boost around 4,500-5,000 rpm. The supercharger is a more linear delivery of the power, but doesn't hit peak boost till the top of the band.

Along with the posts people have brought up around costs and maintenance/supporting add-ons, you'll need to consider what you are really looking for.

There we go, back on topic.
