depending on the setup, you could hear if a car is turbocharged or not..

i must say, for the street, that i like superchargers..

 

Maybe that's because he couldn't figure out how to safely boost an NSX with 10.2:1 stock compression. He produced a turbo kit for them that grenaded several motors because he was clueless about proper fuel management. His whole NSX turbo kit was half-assed, instructions were wrong, etc. He quickly got out of the NSX turbo market once his kits started blowing up, leaving everyone who had bought one high and dry. The only people with that kit that didn't blow up their motor are ones who saw what was happening to others and went with a different fuel management system right away. Several people have come along since then and made reliable turbo and supercharger kits for the car. IMO Corky is way over-rated and more than a little lacking in business ethics. His book knowledge may be good but his real-world performance was pretty underwhelming.

 

Yeah, he's more of an old-school type I think.

im glad he didnt attempt a kit on the s2k then haha..

 

i couldnt disagree more...nothing sucks worse then chewing while going down the road

 

yeah..for street use, a well designed turbo setup is nice...minimal lag, and good driveability. however, there is still that little thing of lack of throttle response..which can be tuned for, if need be. but it still doesnt have the instant *snap* of a Roots blower...

 

I think a supercharger is more reliable. No oil plumbing required. No boost creep. The psi of a blower can only be controlled by a pulley. All motor is the most reliable form of power though.

 

not all blowers are self contained...no vortechs are, a handfull of ati's are, but all roots are

 

How is that? Not criticizing, just wondering.

 

Vortech's are a centrifugal SC. Basically a belt driven turbo. If you look at the Vortech's there really is no full casing hence the "Belt Driven turbo" term. Looks almost exactly like a turbo. I say ATI or Vortech is the way to go as far as SCs go on Mustangs. That's just me though.

I personally sway more towards the turbo side because of the expandability of it. Allows for so much more.
