Turbocharged or Supercharged?
So great news, we got the engine to turn over and I now have two twin cams. One is the fuel injected 102 horsepower and the other is a carburated 82 horsepower. I was wantkng some input on which I should put a turbo or supercharger on, and what particular parts anyone would recommend to me. I am completely rebuilding the engines from the block up, but only have the budget for one performance engine.

Re: Turbocharged or Supercharged?
I haven't seen anyone on this forum use a supercharger on their engine. May be a challenge wedging in a blower? I think there's also another website out there that's all about turbo Fiat's (turbo 124?), might be a good place to dig in.

My Volumex came stock with a supercharger, and it's so much fun to drive

Re: Turbocharged or Supercharged?
When I pulled the engine to have the trans rebuilt, I destroyed the intercooler. The fittings had welded themselves to the aluminum cooler so there was no way to separate them without twisting the connections.
Trying to find an NOS cooler was really tough...and expensive once I did locate one in Germany.
