Default Re: Subercharger vs. Turbocharger

The supercharger gives a little less power, but it IS useable power... it's there through the rev range - ALL the way through.

AND.. Turbo's WILL fry and may even fry your engine.. in a previous life I had some High performance cars built at the factory with Turbo's and they did all let go.

I dunno about the US, but where I'm from (Scotland) it's not too warm... at night after a hammering my Cosworths (use Google) you could lift the hood and see the Turbo glowing red hot... and I mean RED HOT... you won't have that with a Supercharger. (And it takes less space under the hood!)

Nearly bought a supercharger for my Porsche.. but I got rid of it and bought a HUMMER.. never looked back either!!!!

Supercharger or V8 H3... same result!

, supercharger would probably be a better idea, even though both are good. The reason being the range of power.
