Felix Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Turbocharging = free power not necessarily. turbos cause back pressure in the exhaust, which robs power. they cause more underbonnet heat. they require more stuffing around to setup with custom exhaust manifolds and oil/water feeds, whereas a blower is self contained, just needs a pulley system. they have a certain amount of lag, whereas a blower can produce boost from idle. turbos are harder on the engine as the exhaust valves run far hotter (due to the afforementioned turbo back pressure, and charge contamination from residual exhaust gas), plus the oil lives a much harder life. turbos need a turbo timer after a hard run to cool off, whereas a blown engine can be shutoff straight away. there is more...... each has it's pro's and con's. :harhar: Edited January 10, 2006 by Felix Quote
