Turbos- ***primarily for long distance races where it has time to kick in while you still have a chance of winning***
PROS- Economy friendly as it turns exhaust into fumes turning waste to a hell of alot of power, its also upgradeable in terms of stage 1,2,3,4. If youre looking for more power, turbos are the way to go.
CONS- HEAT, the turbine houseing creates alot of heat because it uses exhaust fumes as a source of power. TURBO LAG!!!!! the bigger the turbo, the worse the lag, this can be avoided by getting lighter turbine blades or getting smaller turbos.
Supercharger- ***for short distance racing, like 1/4 miles, u get instant power instead of waiting for the turbo turbines to spool up because as oposed to exhaust, SC's draw power from belts and pulleys***
PROS- Instant power and lest heat exhertion from the unit, it creates a constant level of boost.
CONS- Not very versitle in terms of upgrades.
