   What would make for a better daily drive, when I say daily drive I mean something to cover my 15mile round trip to work and thats about it as I do nothing else but sit on here
   
   Supercharged or turbod saxo?
   
   From previous research sessions I've came to the conclusion that a supercharger is a less harmful method of upping the power.
   
   The car obviously would not be setup for 300bhp or anything crazy just a nice 180-200bhp kick
   
   
   Apologies for yet another indecisve Ets2k9 thread but all this talk of boosted saxo's lately has set my mind racing and I'm due a fat bonus early next year so I'm putting it to a good cause.
   
   Heres a few more random questions for anyone who wants to answer them:
   
   Would it be wise to fit cat cams etc or just run the S/C or Turbo on its own?
   
   Are uprated internals a must for either application?
   
   I'll search for the rest of the answers as no doubt they've been covered.
   
   
   Off you go people
   
   Cheers

   This also set me off

   Steve,
   
   I would definately say supercharger. Aim for what you said about 190-200bhp at as low boost as possible.
   
   Heavily camming a turbo car would be not be effiecient for a daily driver, as then ALL the power with then be too far up the rev range.
   
   285 degree cams with a supercharger would be good I think.
   
   As for internals, you can run them pretty much standard with a S/C, but inevitably, forged and lightened rods, maybe low comp pistons etc should be used for higher boost.
   
   Hope this helps.
   
   Col.

   i thought as much but I was told that as I could get away with it using standalones.
   
   I can only presume this is with base maps.
   
   I'll add you to msn tomorrow
