370z Forced Induction for Noobs...

This is just the info I was looking for! However from a maintenance point of view which is easier to take care of over the long run. Supercharger or turbo?

SC requirements, for GTM, are as followed.
Belt, SC fluid, SC filter, intake filter every 50,000 miles

I snapped a belt at 25,000 miles and just passed 50,000 miles overall with my SC kit and doing all the above including the belt again (already has cracks). After this change over I will be dropping my interval down to 25-30k miles instead. Overall the materials will run you $250-300 and can mostly be done yourself or a good shop can do it in a couple hours tops.
cutter and docabramson like this.

Stillen SC is fluid at 2,500 the first time then 7,500 after that. I'm not sure about the belt.
