Well sorry, if your car is not running then you wont be boosting.Jeffescortlx said:Is just over 200whp worth 5 grand?
There really is no such thing as "instant boost" with a supercharger, it still need's RPM's to make boost.
My point is a SC does'nt hit full boost untill the RPM's are high. A turbo can reach full boost sooner (lower RPM's) then a SC.ck_james1983 said:Well sorry, if your car is not running then you wont be boosting.Jeffescortlx said:Is just over 200whp worth 5 grand?

well, it is boosting constantly as the engine is running. cuz, well, it's not like those golf carts that turn on the gas engine only when you step on the pedal. you may be getting only like 3psi of boost at idle speed (700rpms) but that's still alot better than waiting as you get on it for your turbo to spool up, because it may start @3psi @idle speed and work up from there (chances are it probably only gives you like 1psi, but still) it would already be boosting more and more as you accelerate from a dead stop. now, correct me if i'm wrong, but this is pretty much a huge bonus for those of you with autos, because you don't have the ability to rev your engine to spool up with a turbo without risking severe damage to your transmission. but still.... the whine of a supercharger, IMO, is alot cooler than the whirring of a turbo and the whoosh of a blowoff valve. DEFINITELY makes you sound like less of a RICER (j/k jeff :lol: )Jeffescortlx said:Is just over 200whp worth 5 grand?

I would have to agree. It really depends on the application. Look:siragan said:Alright, just look at the compressor maps:

You'll find that you're both wrong, but Jeff is more right. The real answer to the question is that it depends.
