see the whole sc is more reliable BS is all a matter of the tune, trust me if you get a good tune on a turbo car it can be VERY reliable. Hell Swift said it themselves, they coulda made more power on this kit, but they would have had to sacrifice the ability of a good DD, this kit makes good power and is still ver daily drivable....
IMO i think SC puts more stress on the engine than a turbo....how you ask?? the SC needs the power from the engine to work, therefore robbing power from your engine before making any
while a turbo just uses the exhuast gases that are already there and require no power borrowed from the motor to make power.....
