turbos are more effiecient by far than SCs. And can always make more boost. SC are primarily used now because of the exact reason you mention, cost. Turbos cost more to do, but make more power, period. Wherever you heard this, it's wrong.

This systems is not mine. PatP is dong the work. Email him with comments questions. I'm just the messenger. I'm guessing but I believe there no MAF with the system he's putting together. But well find out on Fri.

This is Awesome ! One of the best and most economical ways to increase performance is with supercharging. Especially with older engines.

RMS in Van Nuys California does a lot of these and has had a few article written stating that these conversions put out more the Turbo setups.

Doesn't have them for e28s though.

Will yours come with an MAF conversion ? How do you address this ?
