Re: super and turbo charging

I'm not sure about the whole 'pushing the supercharger' thing. The supercharger doesn't know the difference between 14.7psi absolute pressure(atmospheric pressure) and 25 psia. All a positive displacement supercharger does is move a set volume of air through it. If there is a restriction on the output side, then it increases the pressure. It doesn't care what the pressure is to begin with.
