Why on earth must you have a t-trim? Any of the v1s are capable of making more power than you'll likely ever need....

5 years to find out what supercharger that you want requires a lot of patience.

Actually, a turbo system on the SC400 will probably cost more than a supercharger setup due to fabrication & part costs. It'll take a longer time as well.

Voted for Sc because it is so much cheaper and easier on UZ motor.
