Are there any shops in Edmonton that are familiar with SAFC2’s that can do a proper tune? Looking into getting boosted soon. ---

> [@chasenyadown](#): > > You should just sell your spec and buy mine. it is now officially for sale I put the add in the Auto Trader Yesterday, and posted on the VBoard Classifieds I’m actually leaning towards the Supercharger since I don’t have a clue on how to maintain a turbo. Good Luck on the sale. What is the driving time to Calgary from Edmonton? ---

At my speed, or at the speed limit 8) . It should be around a 2.5 hour drive. ---

> [@jutes](#): > > What is the driving time to Calgary from Edmonton? 1.5 hours. But that’s just my time. Also, if you think that maintaining a SC is going to be a walk in the park vs. a turbo you might need to do more research. They are different forms of forced induction, but in the end they are both boost and maintaining a boosted car is more than just maintenance on the type of snail that boosts it. ---

Personally I would go Turbo, look at how many guys are running Turbo kits without any issues, and Revo. auto. has taken over a year to even get the 8psi pulley out, personally I would pick a Turbo over S/C. And no I’m not just saying that cause I looked at a lot of things when deciding what for of boost I should go with. I believe there is even a thread somewhere on here with a lot of discussion on it. ---

Plus, I have broken 120k on the engine so I’m a little hesitant on going with too much boost, but the engine still runs strong. I might go with just some pistons/rods, but I have not researched into how much that will run with installation, but I’m guessing some big $$$$. There is also the VQ swap… :loco:
