Sweet, after reading your first post I thought you were getting a Turbo.

Welcome to the club!

You'll love the smooth power of the S/C...and DDM is a great bunch to work with.

Shadow,

That is a nice clean install you have there, glad we could help you out!

Now we need to hear the comparison between the two.

Well here are my observations:

Both systems obviously do what they are supposed to do - give you more power and make the car more fun to drive. I enjoyed my turbo as it was a real kick in the pants when it spooled up. However, because of the roads in my area, i had a hard time being able to enjoy the kick of the turbo. When I hit the gas, I would feel my car as an NA Solstice and then suddenly it was like someone turned on a switch and then the car would take off. Pretty cool, but not usable enough for me on the roads in my area.

The super charge on the other hand is there right from the start. It feels like the super charger is integral the the car. In other words, with the turbo, it felt like I had a car that was modified and had something added to it as the turbo would "kick in" rather than being there all the time. With the super charger, the power is there from the start, is smooth, and it feels like I have a new engine in the car rather than an addition to my base engine.

I guess another way to describe this would be that the S/C has an OEM feel rather than a "modified engine" feel to it. I also feel as though the S/C kit has more of an OEM look to it as well over the turbo.

I am extremely pleased with my decision to make the move from turbo charger to super charger. And the guys at DDM are a joy to work with!

By the way, I have a Stage II turbo for sale, if anyone is interested.

I've got a minor thread hijack, because you've got a good picture of it with your "so sad" pics.

On the forward side of the exhaust ports, there's a rusty nut/plug. I see that turning from chrome to rust on my engine. Any idea what it's for and why it's rusty?

Installation looks good, by the way.

I have absolutely no clue.

That is the timing belt tensioner, you do not want to remove that one
