I'm pretty undereducated when it comes to adding power to cars. I know the basic function of both a turbo and a supercharger but that's about it. Haven't even bought my car yet but once the warranties run out, I'd like to be better educated and maybe have a plan ready to follow through with. I'd appreciate some info or just pointing me in the direction of where specifics can be found.
First off when it comes to adding power, for those who have done it in the S550...why did you go with a turbo over a supercharger...or a supercharger over a turbo?
I've seen it mentioned in a few places that the MT-82 isn't really meant to handle more power and should be replaced if adding power. However, I've also seen vids where the stock trans was kept and did 800-900whp. So I'm a little confused there. Any clarification would be great.
When it comes to cost, one thing I have seen is that the sky is the limit depending on how far you want to go. But, if possible, can any ballpark figures be given for your average tune, labor, and parts to add either a turbo or SC?
Thanks!
