Supercharger or turbocharger

The turbo`s impeller also has to turn to create boost, which is being spun off of exhaust gasses- which would create back pressure. My point is that the turbo doesnt magically create boost without loss.

Tireburner163 - I hope for my sake you are wrong about ATI, I have dealt with them after the sale and have no complaints. They even sent me a nother box of oil free. Free stuff is good

You are correct. No power adder is "free power", Turbo's do create a exhaust restriction. However there is much less parasitic drag with a turbo.


I've seen a lot of bad stuff around the net and in person with ATI blowers. They just don't seem to hold up as well and from what I've seen they're customer support sucks when something is broken. It's never their fault.

On the other hand, very rarely do you here anything bad about
Vortech.
