S/c is the best bang per buck. I wouldn't cam it or anything as the charger just uses normal ones. Just save your pennies. Smile

Lb will suit normal everyday driving more but then im sure some of the high boosters like stan will say that hb is fine for everyday driving. By the souds of things hb is a massive step from lb Thumbs up

how deep are your pockets is the answer depending upon this will depend how fast you can go but fettle the rest of the car if ya waiting for a while to do significant engine mods.

low boost is like having a 306 with the power to match the latest hatches
a high boost is a 306 that has the same 0-100 as a 911 turbo
So completely different beasts.
And obviously theres more cost associated with having a high boost both engine internals wise and in terms of making the chassis capable of that power
You need a bigger intercooler than lowboost, more fuel pressure, a different set of injectors and a swirl pot iircc
As well as this the engine is rebuild with lower compression a different head gasket and forged pistons and rods.

Low boost 4k
High boost circa 7k
Turbo....nobody knows Smile

Personally I'd buy my low boost Ninja

The other thing is realistically both require roller bearing wishbone bushes, and bigger brakes,which also means new wheels.
It all adds up.

im prepared to put 3-3.5k into it after xmas like a think in the meantime ill do pther things i.e brakes n that but low boost would be fine and still quick enough for me although people keep saying boosts better than a s/c n vice versa im baffled at the moment as to what to do im leaning towards a s/c atm Smile

A lot cheaper, you can buy will woods and chick 20mm spacers iirc on them to run the cyclones still, plenty of stopping power then Smile
