lasthope05 1263 cr points Send Message: 25 / M / Philadelphia Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/27/08 Turbos are way more efficient form of forced induction. Super and Turbochargers are neither more for domestics or imports. The reason domestic cars love to use superchargers is because they love the low end power and torque from one. Turbos perform much better and yield bigger gains in both types of cars and a supercharger ever will. I would rather make power from waste product then make power by using power.

AWDfreak 3810 cr points Send Message: 22 / M / SF Bay Area, CA (... Online	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/27/08 I love turbos. The sound, the anti-lag (on rally cars only ), and the fact that you're not using up engine power for more power. Too bad there's lag... But superchagers sound sweet as well, in addition, require much less modifications to upgrade, as pulley kits are a simply way to make more boost. In addition, there's no lag unlike turbos. In the end, it depends on what you'll use it for.....
