Turbo is SOOOO much funner then a SC. I've owned a SRT-4, and used to drive a Park Avenua Ultra (SCed). The things you can do with a turbo is almost unlimited.

Thats why you get a smaller turbo, so it spools faster. All these tards buy snails the size of my freaking head, and complain it takes awhile to spool.

The way i was told, is an S/C is always on, a turbo has to spool up. To my understanding you can feel an power lag with a turbo where as a supercharger the power is already there............

well the supercharger is a instant hit of power and tq, a turbo has lag and the only to get rid of the lag is smaller turbo or a dry shotN20 to speed up the spool of the turbo,

one thing you will here is that a supercharger takes hp to make hp, but so will a turbo (this is a big argument with lots of ppl) here is my exhample of why and how a turbo does use take hp to make hp

you have a cobra making 600hp with a single turbo and you,and it makes 300hpN/A but if you take that same turbo car andtake off the intake tube and run theturbo but not throught the motor you will have a loss of 15-25% in hp over your N/A runs,

you will also here that a turbo can make more Hp with lower boost witch is true BUT only b/c the turbo is moving a larger valume of air then s/c out there can do, the only s/c that is coming close to moving the volume of air that most turbo kits are is the NEW Whipple 3.4 and thats coming out soon here in the next few weeks and from what i here is 700+rwhp @ 17psi (with supporting mods) on 03 Cobras


but for me im a all day s/c guy b/c the roots/twin screw s/c's have more useable power then a turbo, not saying that turbo cars are not fast but just take a little time to get going

I fear the day that I have to decide between a turbo kit or a KB....

I'm so indecisive I'd probably get both!
