The age old question...turbo vs sc.

[cekim]

I'll be careful. I'll drive it better then if it was my own.

Yeah, just like theBOSS?

I beat the hell out of my own car - and then a clean and wax it... I would not want anyone driving it like I do...

 

[bens4vcobra]

seems like alot of you guys like TS or turbos. i like the centri design with the front mount intercooler. any particular reason you guys dont like the centri's?

 

[forensicsteve]

I like centris. Had a Procharger for over a year. Great unit but decided I wanted more and the P series had limited upgradeability. So it was a decision between switching to F series or try something else. Sold the P and am trying turbo.

Welcome to the forums steve! first one's on me...

Best is Turbo.

you drink antifreeze, best is supercharger

You are delusional, turbos are where it's at! Pound for pound a turbo setup will always make more power.

That's not QUITE true... You have to specify "at the rear tires"... !!!

Between the blow-off valve, the waste-gate and the whine of the turbo itself, turbo systems just sing to my soul!

To bad I don't have one on my 05 yet!

I'm more interested in smoother power delivery across the rpm range.

The overall driving experience is what I'm into. I don't need a time slip to post on the fridge, if you get my drift.

When I was 17, it was all about the big number and whipping your balls out to show off. Now, I'm just into making myself happy...

I like both - quiet power some days - ear splitting BOV exhale the other days... Roasted tires and loss of blood to the brain due to accelerating G's every day...

Soon I shall have it "Oh boy this is gonna be great!"

Looking forward to next racing season...

Who can argue with that logic? After all, sometimes your wife just can't get that right rythm going on...

Ummm, even on an engine dyno, the turbo setup will produce more power given the same boost level. Now if we were talking about a lightweight driveshafts you would be correct.

are you referring to mine or yours?

This sums it up 100%. You got it all right !!! ROLL ON

 

[Bestangyet 07]

BOTH! Run a big turbo into a twin screw supercharger and hold on for dear life.

 

[MrClean]

I'm thinking of asking Nick @ Fastlane if he can mod his TT setup to run smaller turbos (smaller than the 54 mm's he runs now), so that they spool up at really low rpms, say 1800 rpm, and keeping the boost at ~8 psi to make a max of 430 rwhp/450 rwtq.....therefore making for a very flat torque curve.

 

[Herknav]

Unless you are running a twin screw, you are a moron.

 

[GIG4FUN]

I wouldn't do anything at 1800 in a race. My go pedal would be past that sitting at the start etc.
