it all depends on what youre willing to spend on the turbo bro. dont go cheap these are parts you cant buy cheap then youll be paying in the long run. me i just spent over $5000 on my turbo kit for my monte.

You can convert a sc to a turbo. You will need a m90 block off plate and the turbo kit. You can buy used turbo kits for around 1500-3000 depending on what kit you want.

would it be possible to run a supercharger and turbo on the same engine? I know it would be highly difficult/expensive but if im not mistaken I think ive heard of it being done before

Hi `Word,
Check the below
<Twincharger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twincharger
Wikipedia


For more engine power, and to augment the benefits of forced induction (by means ofturbocharging or supercharging), an aftermarket water injection system can be added to the induction system of both gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines.Technical description - ‎Disadvantages - ‎Commercial availability

there is a way to run both. but the boost on both must be low and I would not be surprised to have the engine to have rediculus amount of blow off valves. I seen two so far that has both having at least two blow off valves that I seen. I have noticed one thing superchargers are good for top end and turbos are good for bottom end. I think I got those two backwards. having both seems like a balance on both ends of the spectrum. but it is a lot of work but a good pay out though. but on a fwd the room is a little tight but would be interesting to do. kind of wish that the 3.5 and the 3.9 has the supercharger for it. because I would love to have that option the supercharger. but the turbo is a good option for me but a bit pricy for fab
