Should i go for turbo or compressor?
Should i go for turbo or compressor?
I was wondering what´s the best option on a stock 305 tpi...turbo or a compressor?
What´s most effective considering that it has to work as a daily driver ...
And finaly what´s the difference in money and maintaining these power adders.
Please bare with me cause I´m a new to this.

Considering you have a stock 305 I would put the thousands of $$$ you'd have into supercharging or turbocharging and plunk a brand new hot little 350 or 383 engine in there.
I think you'll be happier in the long run with more room for expansion to higher power levels if you so desire.

But to answer your question, as you are new to this, just forget a turbocharger. Installing one of those in a thirdgen is not by any means for a novice.

Hi, Swede.
If you decide to add a poweradder, go for a supercharger, there are some nice complete kits to buy. I have a friend here in sweden who has a turbo on his 3'rd gen but he has swiched to carb set up. If you would like to talk/discus it mail me.
