Elchfaenger:
Ive always wondered why there are so many cars with a turbo and only few supercharged? To me, the turbo lag is really annoying, I'd choose a supercharger, if i could.
wrestleantares:
Superchargers actually take some of the torque away from the engine.
You get more total power from the engine, but a portion of the power must go back into operating the SC system.
Turbo Charging uses what would be wasted kinetic energy, and despite some other drawbacks (pressure increases in exhaust system and lag - kinetic energy must be built up), increases power more efficently than Super Charging.
JC:
There is also a difference in the types of superchargers used...
Three main types:
Roots
Centrifugal
Twin Screw
They all have advantages and disadvantages... See http://www.proficientperformance.com/tech_centrifugal_vs_roots.php for more info :)
hellbent:
Though in racing, turbos rules. U have to remember that they use Anti-lagg systems there. consdering the power the turbos make over SC. plus their torquey, which u need in WRC and JGTC.
