Please explain this theory.

I can up my boost with a pulley change and how is one form of FORCED INDUCTION easier on the motor than another? I just wish people would speak from experience rather than what they read on the net. We are talking a couple ponies either way in favor of SC vs. turbo.

Forcing compressed hot air into a motor is just that, period. The delivery is the difference.
I agree with you Ohio. I for some reason just like the idea of the Turbo better. It really doesn't make a difference like you said, forced induction is forced induction. I'll let you know how it turns out once its all said and done. I wish I had something to compare it with. I don't know of anyone in my area with a Supercharged 2.7L. Oh well, I shall be the Ginny pig with the Turbo. If all fails ill make the 997 TT my daily driver
