Right on i was wondering. If you know if the tvs kit is worth the wait or if i should go turbo lol i need a v8 killer and vit told me the tvs is not worth it and to go turbo. I figure since you know a bit about both the turbo and maybe the tvs kit a bit you could have more of an input about it

Honestly, Jose is my bro! But! I would go turbo! You will have the ability to change how much power the car makes whenever you want to. The turbo also has less drag on the motor when dd a turbo car is a stock civic with a exhaust until the boost it. With a turbo the motor has to spin a extra pulley so you have parasitic lost. Far as how the power builds the TVS would make instant power of course because it's a supercharger/twin screw but the correctly and properly size turbo will do the same I.E MYsetup. The few ppl that have been it say it feels like my supercharger but way way way better and faster! I always say if you have the money do it. You already have a supercharger why spend the money to do it again when you can make a lot more power and have a lot more fun... Either way it's a win win for you. You will make power with either kit. But you will always be limited with a supercharger because the motor can only spin the blower but so fast. And their is no bigger crank pulley you can put on to create more boost... But if you go turbo the sky is the limit. ( stock internals will be the limiting factors) but all in all I would make the jump. But just know it's a lot of work. But it's worth it. Not sure how much longer I will be keeping my car turboed tho probably going to part out and sell the car

But anyway I say go with what your budget can afford but look at what some of us other supercharged guys have done! That will tell you the true answer

The venom cooler is more of a longevity mod than a gain in power. It helps keep the flamethrower (supercharger) internals cooler so the bearings last longer.

The venom cooler helps in more ways than none. It is more of helper. I did gain some whp from it because my IATs where starting a lot lower and staying lower and re blower wasn't getting hot. The venom cooler keeps what most generates the most heat cool it will also for sure help with case warp and bearinf life and it will a lot you spin the blower even faster because the bearings are staying cool
