Re: Overview: Supercharger vs. Turbocharger

Another drawback of a "turbocharger" is lag time. Due to the fact that the turbo runs on kinetic energy that is beeing thrown away as exaust, It takes time for the turbo to get up to high enough RPMs to produce enough pressure to cause an increase in power.
