Re: super charger or turbo

Superchargers are nice, but I tend to favor the turbo myself, especally when ou want a specific amount of power as opposed to "I want to run about 18lbs of boost" because you can run a turbo at less boost to achive the same horse power and therefore save some reliability, also a turbo saves you gas (especally on the highway) and assuming you keep your foot out of it, compaired to a supercharger, because the power lost to backpressure is allot less than the power lost to turning a pump via a belt, true lag is a problem, but i was once told that some people call it lag, and others call it giving your opponent a chance lol but also lag it completely dependant on the turbo you choose, and many other varables but whatever you choose, good luck!
