Hello If anyone can help me, please e-mail me? I have a 97 ford probe 2.0. want to sup it up. but do not want to get screwed. Talking to people on the ship and was thinking of a super charger. i know alot about planes but nothing about cars. thank you for your time. AN. Hojek

supercharging is a good but expensive option, as is turbocharging.  nitrous is also another option, but turbo will provide the longest life and most power for the motor as far as big power mods go.  you should rebuild the motor no matter which one you chose...turbo you can buy a premade kit or d.i.y...which is much more efficient and can be cost efficient.  i have a 6 way adjustable wing sitting here in my living room if youre interested....lol a front strut tower bar also.
jeremy h...had a 93 2.0 se probe until i totalled it 3/9/03

thanks for the info. i have always wanted one. and it drives me nuts not being able to drive her becuase i am at sea. where are u from? home town worth ill. base is norfolk va.  bidding on a turbo off of e-bay. i dont want to sound stupid but can u put a turbo and a super charger on the 2.0 ford probes? how much u asking for both? AN  Hojek John. thanks for your time.  

yes you can put a supercharger and a turbocharger on a probe, time consuming and fairly expensive, but worth the money.  if you;re getting a turbo kit, you're going to need : a super air fuel controller ( S-AFC) from A'Pexi, a turbo obviously, a cast manifold to bolt the turbo to, a downpipe for the turbo and larger than stock exhaust, a waste gate, a boost controller, a boost gauge, an air/fuel gauge is helpful but the afc will also work, an exhaust gas temperature gauge will help prevent catastrophic engine failure immensly, you will need an intercooler ( may i reccomend a starion front mount ( mitsubishi starion/dodge conquest, factory part)  because they'll work for the 10 max psi you will be pulling and theyre much cheaper than big brand ones...you're also going to need a intake tube to come off the turbo and so u can put a filter on it, as well as intercooler piping to run from the turbo to the intercoller and from the intercooler to the throttle body.  you will definitely want to get larger injectors, a bigger fuel pump is advisable, and pistons and rods and rings will help if you want to pull more than 6 psi, make sure you always run the highest octane you can get and if you cant get better than say 91 or 92 octane make sure to use octane booster...will prevent detonation and let you run slightly higher boost without worrying about blowing the motor. 
any more help, id be glad to assist ;-)
jeremy...ps...for info on the wing and strut bar email me directly at spoolitup16g19m@aol.com...take car and good luck

You forgot the all-important blow off valve :) pssssssssssssh   MULTI

nope. It's either the turbo or supercharger, not both.

thank you

thats not bad at all. will try them. so how fast can you do the 1/4 mile? guys on the ship have been able to do it in 10sec. turbo nos auto. will have pictures and time of mine when we pull in. John

no.  i completely disagree.  you can do both, its been done on a number of applications from turbo to factory setups.  some older diesel motors came with superchargers and turbochargers, and if you want to see one on an import car, check out the first sport compact car 10 ultimate street car competition, they have a 1g toyota mr2, factory supercharged with a turbo setup as well, for boost down low with the super and big boost up high with the turbo.  if you're all into it, you can do it, but it requires mny upon many hours of tuning to dial everything in right and alooooottttttt of money.  just had to add my 2 cents in there.

well the navy and my job at van go will pay for this. want to make y 97 probe a 12sec car. auto turbo s/c want too stay way from the nos. but if i have to use nos which system is the best? John
