Couldn't find any fresh threads on this subject.. If I am wrong, I apologise!
I recently had my SXT 2018 a/t, great car in so many ways! MPG is acceptable and insurence cost is fairly low. I live in Sweden where the fuel tax is extreme, hence the choice of a smaller engine.
I have spent alot of time trying to learn about ways to improve engine power. I was about to spend on a custom tune and CAI, but realised that 15-20hp wont satisfy my needs and is therefore a waste of money.
Supercharging or turbocharging, on the other hand, seems to give more than enough power for a reasonable cost (though illegal) and would make my car one of a kind. So here's a couple of questions for you guys:
Is northern climate bad for converted engines? Swedish temperatures differs from 95 f to -5 f.
Are there any weak links in the engine that needs modification before charging?
Are breaks, transmission etc. up for the increase in power?
Life expectancy of modded vehicle? It's my daily driver, so I'm not taking it to the tracks.
