First and foremost let me make it explicitly clear that I know very little about cars (otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help). I know just enough to take good care to maintain my vehicle. That being said I have a question regarding turbochargers/superchargers. I own and 04' coupe ltd. I am looking to enhance the performance a bit and increase the retail value a little. I found a couple of turbo chargers that I think would work for my engine. I was considering purchasing it, but wanted to do some research first. My first question is, is this part in fact even compatible with my engine and could it even be installed? Second, as I mentioned previously I know very little about cars so in the event that I did acquire this part would there be any additional accompanying parts to have it installed? I am aware of how a turbocharger works and can only assume that I could not simply slap a turbo charger onto the engine and be able to drive around, and that perhaps I would need to acquire something additional to maintain proper function of the car. Next increasing the output would surely put more stress on the engine and its vital parts so would adding the turbocharger degrade the life of my engine? If so (going along with the previous question) is there something I could do or a part I could acquire that would prevent any degradation in the life of my engine? Lastly would the increase in performance really be of any benefit or would I just be wasting my time?
Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
