Super Charger or Turbo

Bayouboy4.6 · June 27th, 2007, 11:06 PM

which one is safer on a stock motor? i was told that a turbo is safer to use on the stock motors. but i dont see how it would be any different from a super charger?

there really is no reliability issue

yeah, I'd say it depends more on what boost you run them at

ok here is the break down on turbo vs. supercharger...

I have a Hellion turbo on my car by the way!

A turbo does not make hardly any boost from 1000-2,800RPM so in normal everyday driving your car is perfectly fine and feels like it is stock until you get on it! Also turbo's make more power per psi than a supercharger does because a supercharger is having to be driven by the motor...

The down sides to a turbo are, there are alot more parts involved and the infamous turbo lag but it is about the same or a hair more than a centripical supercharger...

I would tell you this, if you want very good dependability go with a twin screw supercharger and run it at 8psi if you are a super worried about your engine, less parts involved but in the long run your motor would like you better if you gave it a turbo, alot of it depends on how you drive, how good the tune is, and who installed the system... Hope this helps

Best thing for you is just research the two of them untill your sick. Figure out the pros and cons, and which one works better for your situation. I dont think there really is a "better" of the two, just what you want.
