Correct me if Im wrong, but isn't a turbocharged engine more thermally
efficient than a supercharged engine. This would mean that a turbo converts
your chemical energy, (gas), into work, (hp) at a better rate than a
supercharger.The plus side being you would use less gas to achieve the same
level of power output in a turbocharged engine compared to that of a
supercharged engine. The negative side being that you would have to wait for
the power since it is not (IMMEDIATE boost). They are many other pro's and
con's to consider too. just throwing in my $.02
So we will have two choices in the near future right? Hotshot is developing
a TURBO KIT and u guys are developing a SUPERCHARGER. This is great u have
my support, now everyone will have a choice as to what kind of power they
want on tap!
One more ?. What is the reliability of a turbocharged engine compared to a
supercharged one?
