The classic battle of the Turbocharger and the Supercharger. Which do you think is teh better "bang for the buck" buy, just interested in what people had to say on the issue?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Both are extraordinary ways to make power without sacrificing street ability.
SUPERCHARGERS are run utilizing the crankshaft to drive the impeller without creating excessive heat, and power can be obtained almost instantaneously without any "lag time." The impeller is spun at a speed (depending on boost level)
almost half that of a turbo. TURBOS are driven by the exhaust system which can create enormous amounts of heat so intercooling is imperative. The margin for power is probably much greater for the turbocharged engine. But, there are definitely pro's and con's with that....
I will post later with more info on that.
