Turbo vs. Supercharger.

[Joe.Doty at lcnetwork.com (Joe Doty)]

The Lightning and '03 Cobra would like a word with you.

I'll agree that the G60 charger is a pile, though.  I hear kids whining
about how 1.8Ts "don't make that much power even with a turbo, durrr"
but they are made for driveability, not top end.  What does a stock 1.8T
make, 200wtq at 2500 RPM or something?

What do you suppose was the thinking at VW, as they never really made a
big
hit with the G60 and pretty much let it take a back seat to the VR and
now
the turbo.  For the average driver, I believe the supercharger is just
too
high maintenance.

  A million opinions!
  Superchargers tend to be less efficient particularly at higher
pressure
  ratios. So, they aren't as good at making really high power.

  YOU'D BETTER TELL THAT TO JOHN FORCE, HE COULD USE SOME ADVICE ABOUT
NOW.

  OTOH a big really high power laggy turbo is the last thing you need
for an
  autocross car. Superchargers, particularly positive displacement
types,
have
  fast response.
  The primary issue then is quick response vs. power producing
capability.
  There are a million secondary issues!

  AS FOR THE REST, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH DAN.
  HAVE FUN!
