Supercharger or Turbo Kit?
I'm debating whether if I should install a supercharger or a turbo kit on my 2008 2.4L HHR. Anyone have any recommendations?


I drive a lot of city and highway driving, but I like to drive faster and want more power

It depends on what your intended use of the car is and what your HP/TQ goals are. If this is a daily driver that you drive mainly in town I would suggest the supercharger. If you want to 1/4 mile this or want the most HP/TQ possible then turbo might be better for you.

Thanks, came out pretty Nice I think.

Don't worry unless you come for a visit, and catch me off guard, you'll never see it dirty.
