Re: turbo or supercharger

Agreed a well maintained turbo can last as long as a supercharger. Before i looked into forced induction much i got the procharger info packet and was SOLD. It sounded awesome and looked to give great results but after meeting people who had the procharger setups and have since gone with turbo setups none have regretted it. Turbos make power without "loosing" power. For instance a 600hp turbo car will take gas and be as drivable as a 600hp car can be, however a 600hp supercharged car will get the gas mileage of a 750hp car (actual power before paristic loss in blower drag). Both are great (supercharger and turbo) but when i go forced induction, it will be a turbo setup.
