Ok, so im plannin on buying another 5SFE motor in the winter to build up to handel high boost, buttt..my problem is, i dont know witch way i should get my boost. Ive been thinkin of duin a turbo kit and coustom make it or ive been thinking of gettin the RIPP supercharger kit and modifying it a bit(new pipes, intercooler, better BOV, so on..). But im kinda on a budget, so it would be one or the other, but i want to go with the cheaper one and the one thats gonna give the most bang for the buck. RIPP's website says that with 9psi of boost you can get up to 237 HP off a factory 5SFE and to me that sounds pretty good cuz i wanna be running at like 14PSI or so. So i want your imput, what do you think has the best bang for the buck and also if any one has the ripp superchager, post what you think of it here.

Yeah, I love me some turbos Although this new supercharger that I've been reading about it interesting. |

Not to mention the supercharger is still an iffy application for the Celica only three test cars have it I believe, go turbo if you want to save money since it has been done before.

ohh, i dont think the supercharger is "iffy", its a VERY well manufactured, well engineered, well put together kit.
i think it'd work GREAT on our cars, just nobody wants to pony up the 3400 to have it, when you can just about do a swap for that price, or do a turbo kit and save money. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

What I meant by iffy is that they haven't finished testing it on our cars, I know it's been running on 5SFE Camrys for a while.
