super charger or turbo? Options

[addictions]

i am looking to boost my little 7a-fe to about 160-175 HP i love big the sound of a good BOV but i love getting put back in my seat as soon as i hit the gas as well. see my problem?? i know i can hit the HP i am looking for with a turbo at about 8.5-9.5 PSI what would it take for a super? and does any one have any suggestions on this? thanks for the helps guys/girls.

hmm....well seems that all u want to do is make a lil more power ud prolly benifit from a super charger cuase are engines have alot of tourqe at 2800rpm n are high hp is at 5600 so if u thinkl about a turbo or supercharger the supercharger is goin to benifit from having all that crazy amount of power really low in the power band versus a turbo will give u more power after 3500rpm or so just depends if ur goin for top end or low to midrage power...im gointo boost my car but im lookin to get about 220 range so im goin with turbo for the main reason its alot easer to customize a turbo set up rather than a supercharger cause ull have to change ur intake manifold in all that....try thinking about a whipple charger they have bad ass set ups and they make great power fast and u can still get that BOV....

you do know whipple makes twin screw superchargers right?
that wouldn't work on a celica
you need a centrifugal type supercharger like vortech.

2ndly you can use the stock intake manifold on the supercharger and the turbo setup.

if you chose SC you'll have to figure out how to make a bracket to mount it in order to run the acc. belt around it.

turbos you can get boost before 3,500 rpm it just depends what turbo you want to use.

turbo will be the easiest and cheaper option

as well as BOV is overrated, look into a by-pass valve such as one FORGE makes, it recirculates the excess charge keeping it in the system providing better/smoother performance, and yes it can still make a cool sound too
