Super or Turbo?

arithx · 05-03-2011, 10:50 AM

Hello, I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my 370z, it's a base model with the auto trans. I have a few people telling me differing opinions on what I should get, either a Stillen Supercharger with a dual intake & new headers or a GTM Twin Turbo Kit.

I guess the main questions are whether or not it's worth it to wait and get the twin turbo kit or to just take the plunge and be able to install the supercharger much sooner?

Also, if anyone knows if the supercharger w/ new intake + headers and/or the twin turbo kit would cause the stock auto trans any problems I'd appreciate it.

Why not the gtm supercharger? U might want to research all the problems with stillens supercharger. I had the stillen sc and replaced it with the gtm sc and havnt regretted it one bit

A supercharger will replace your intakes anyway, so there is no need for a new dual intake. If I were going with the supercharger, it probably would not be the Stillen. The turbo kit is more expensive and cost a bit more to install. Do some research. It all depends on what you prefer and your driving habits. Superchargers are like stock feel with more linear power and the turbos are a rush of power. There are pros and cons to each option.

Read this before u choose the stillen sc
Another GTM Convert: GTM Supercharged G37
The gtm outperforms, sounds better and looks better than the stillen sc
