    not possible with either i think, well spec-v.. in the canyons, maybe. WRX no way. get a 3sGTE and you'll pwn all. maybe not an STi but yeah...

    supercharger vs. turbo

    what do u guys think?
    do u think the trd supercharger will give the 8th gen corolla wut it needs 2 spank spec-v and wrx?

    or should u go the more x pensive way and boost the rolla. which is high ly difficult b cuz of the scarce parts

    Spec-V... possible with turbo.
    WRX... just pray that their driveline breaks, then you stand a chance.

    I think it's possible with spec-v since XRS can has a good run with it. But WRX is not possible at all.

    my corolla spanked a spec v from 0-60 ^_^, and i spanked a 2.5 rs subi, both of the times i only had intake exhaust, thinking about going supercharger . my frend traded in his 2.5 to a wrx so i'm thinking if maybe i have a chance against him -_-. all i know is top end my car is crap, das y i race from start to 80.

    - do i have 2 build internals in order to slap on a super charger?

    Just read your other threads and know that you have a 01 rolla.
    TRD supercharge wouldn't fit 98-02 unless you mod the hood.
    If you gonna do that then I think you will be the first one in the north america to do it. :D

    the spec-v is not fast. It doesn't take much to take one down. I know someone who has one. I've ridden and driven it and I am not impressed. And there is no way you can beat a WRX even with turbo or supercharger unless you dump a new motor such as the 3sgte or 2zzge super/turbocharged in there. But there's no point considering its not practical to have so much power in a fwd setup. The awd on the WRX is more efficent in putting down even balanced power with a lower chance of peeling or burning out.
