Man you are out there with that comment.

A turbo is many more times efficient on a 4 cyl than a SC is ever going to be....with an SC it takes power to make power which in turn lends itself to the possibility that it may negate any enhancement or at least lessen the power output overall of the modification.

Turbo works off exhaust pressure and although there is lag in the time is takes for the turbo to reach spool pressure it is still the most effective and power gaining boost device for a 4 cylinder engine.

6 cylinders can get away with it and 8 cyls definitley get the SC but 4 bangers should go turbo.
What about the vortech SC for the s2000 that claims 108 hp increase?
