Need to make the final decision soon cause I have prices on all three types of engines and winter is almost here. I have to choose but since I already decided to go with the 4a series engine I'm having trouble choosing which one. They all have aspects that I like. Just need alittle nudge in one direction. Post why you would choose it and hopefully some one will strike a nerve and help. I know all the horse power/torque stats just need the humanistic reasons. Like, more low end torque or better top end or just a well rounded engine. Got a couple weeks to make a final choice. Piggy banks open, ready for those two cents...

I say avoid the 4agze because I would prefer to pop on a turbo later. A SC puts so much strain on the engine its hard to say how much trouble you may have with a 4agze. Also the difference between the 4agze and 4age last time I looked is around 700? *this is fuzzy I forget* for that price you would be nicly on your way to a nice turbo! Last issue I can think of is, fear the insurance if you get the 4agze frown.gif Good luck man hard choice.

superchargers are much more reliable than turbochargers, so i don't know where you get that they are more strenuous? also, if you would rather turbo, it would be MUCH more advantagous to get the 4AGZE, as it is the perfect Turbo platform, seeing as how you merely drop the blower, and add the turbo..no internal work is needed to obtain turbo boost, where with the NA 4AGE's, you must rebuild the internals...
