CHARGE!!! Turbo or Super?

What's the best way to go about supercharging a v10? I understand the concept of throwing twin turbos onto the v10. How much cheaper/simpler is it, if at all, to throw in a supercharger rather than a turbo?

If you can find them, there are supercharger kits for the V10 already available. Turbocharging, not so much.

I have a KB supercharger kit for the V10. Going to put it on soon. I would however prefer a twin turbo setup with a big intercooler. Small twins would boost well at low rpm, and turbos have waste gates and BOVs. So turbos can have boost adjusted easier.

I guess I'm partial to turbos because I have a 300 hp eagle talon with one.

But there is just too much fabrication needed for twin turbos. So I have the KB system with no support from KB or intercooler. Need something cause I live at 8000 feet elevation and I have.to make up for lost power.

So, if you can fabricate do the turbos, if not find a twin screw blower, my last suggestion would be centrifugal as I don't care for them, but I would use one before I would try fabricate a turbo system.

If you do a turbo setup I would not.go.single unit. Twins or go home.

Twin mitisibushi 16g turbos would be perfect. They are well made and will spool up at about 1700 rpm, with full boost by 2700 rpm. 2 of these guys could do over 15 psi thru 7000 rpm.
