Default Zex or turbo?

i have a 2k2 spectra and i was wondering if i should try to fab a turbo for my car which will prolly be a real big PITA not to mention i know very little about turbo setups and such or should i just put in a 55 shot zex kit which seems easier to do but alot more harmful to the engine..please help

nitrous is just as harmful as a turbo

Both tear down your engine the same way

I suggest nitrous,... its easier, use it when you want, plus it gives more torque

NOT TO MENTION ITS CHEAPER!!!

Well the safest nitrous kit is probably Venom, but its also very pricey.

Go with Zex, its cheap relatively safe, and you can get a used kit off ebay for under $400

If you really have money to blow, wait for SR to come out with their Supercharger, modifiy your internals a bit and throw both of them on smile.gif
