yo!

ok this is not a discussion on the technical merits of each one and which one is best and why. turbos have lag, supers rob power to make power.

this thread is purely SOUND and FEELING/EXPERIENCE

what do you prefer..... the whine and constant surge of power a supercharger provides under heavy acceleration

or

do you prefer the sucking hissing noise, the chirp of waste gates and the kick in the face a high pressure turbo gives you when it spools up and sends you bolting toward the horizon?

me i like superchargers..... i love that whining noise, its mechanical bliss

Supercharger on track or technical road
Turbo when cruising/motorway driving
 
I had to go Turbo. With the new technology of variable pitch turbo blades and using more than one small turbo the turbo-lag can be substantially reduced.

And I like the kick in the pants of the turbo.
 
Turbo for me.

And listen the track Turbo Lover from Judas Priest - best description ever of what a turbo's like.
 
didin't we have this a liitle while ago :rolleyes:

i say supercharged, instant power
 
I never liked that whininh sound of the Superchargers. Also I like the little kick you get from the turbo.
 
I picked supercharger for practicality, they're easier to install and it's boost on demand. If it was performance I was going for, I'd probably go for turbo.

However, I'd prefer neither.
