I haven't seen to much on superchargers on this site. I'm looking to give my celica a boost in its hp so i figured a turbo or supercharger would help me with this. I'm kinda leaning towards getting a supercharger because my celica is my daily car and i don't race....except for every now and then some retarded punk thinks he can beat me off the line at a stoplight with a 20 year old rusty pontiac fireterd. I know that turbos will put out a lot more hp (up to 300 in some cases). but what about superchargers...how much hp are people getting with them? How is the reliability of a supercharger compared to a turbo? and finally who makes the best superchargers for celicas???

blitz, but it's expensive, buy a greddy, add w/i and call it a day.....

and read the forums dude there are a bunch of s/c'd celis around here. check the forced induction forum and use the search tool. :)

Greddy is reliable, at least it has been for me since day one.. Knock on wood. I have been supercharged for over 5 months now without any problems. After Boosted tunned my car, I had nothig but enjoyment. No Cel no nothing. Stock G-35 and Z's... are not a challange anymore. ***Keyword: stock***

I've had a Blitz kit for 14 or so months and 10,000 miles with no problems. I drive it very hard daily.
