what are the pros/cons of a super vs a turbo unit on the ztech engines? what type of mods would be required for the engine to hold up (and perform best)? please keep in mind i would like to keep this car a daily driver. also, it would be nice to meet ohio's echeck standard.

firstly, whenever increasing the air/gas volume, and thus the power, certain mods should be added, ones to assist in handling the extra power and the extra engine wear. that said..<br><br>A supercharger is a great daily driver solution, it can give 100 reliable horsepower at the top of your power band. it's a nice relyalbe power too. since it's just a fan pulled by your drive belt, there's no lag, and it's nice and predictable because it's always making the same amount of power at a certain rpm (more or less). Only problem is that the only really good SC kit for a 2.0l Zetec is the jackson one, which is a great product, but it doesn't make all that much boost.<br><br>tubos are good for high HP applications. with accessories the sky is the limit, some guy on focaljet is running 20 lbs boost and 100 lb injectors, and his engine still pings. a turbo is by far the best HP production, but it is only to be had by a professional who knows how ot tune it. it's also a large large investment upfront, and in maintenence. <br><br>I like turbos, but, a SC will be more HP than 90% of most cars out there today.
