I have trouble believing that a guy that can't spell basic words or use grammar propperly has the talent to build his own turbo systems on a multitude of cars.
I guess that the holset hx35 turbo that he pulled from a cummins diesel probably spools up fast on that 1.5 liter honda civic...NOT
what a douche

Ok so my lets think of an example here...
My Whipple at 10psi made 450rwhp, pulling time and blowing black smoke up top.
Now if I were to revert to a turbocharger setup, at 10psi would I make 570rwhp?
NO...

OK comparing turbo's to S/C's is an old and mute topic at best as it really is comparing apples to oranges. Now the guy that posted those comments really has no valid point as he is an a s s h o l e! (see I can argue and make no real sense
). My point being don't believe some random dude that comments on something with no real understanding of how anything works. Now on that point is it false advertising to say "Whipples are the most efficient PD blowers?" Isn't that what whipple states? I trust the tried and true and Whipple makes a great S/C and regardless of the HP it takes to turn the compressor the bottom line is that it was the best money I have spent and I am the rich yuppie that paid cash for it
....LOL (NOT).

The only superchargers I know of that eat hundreds of hp are top fuel dragsters, but hey they have like 8,000hp and can spare a little. That guy has no idea what he is talking about and I hope kids dont read his comments and take truth from what he is saying. Idiots like that give american muscle cars a bad name so other kids will buy rice without even considering or gaining all the facts about american. I like how he said only rich people buy mustangs because i thought it is the best performance car for the money. I am sure if we were all rich we would have more expensive cars than a gt. If you think a mustang gt is expensive then you need to take a very hard look at reality.

But the amount of HP taken away from the s/c'er is not a fixed value. It's a function of many parameters so graphing it would be a curve.

clearly this guy knows nothing, i doubt he even has a car. he doesnt have any videios, and if he has these cars he was so proud of he should have video of them, right? just by his SN 0to60in16seconds leads me to believe he drives a moped and only acheives 60 mph going downhill. i've encountered other e-thugs like this before, one on cardomain who's SN was S10stangkiller or something like that and told me my 20's look lame and when i went to his page it turned out he didnt even have his truck yet but his mommy and daddy were going to get it for him very soon. these guys just make me lol.
