Latest review comparing the supercharger to a single turbo. For those of you who have owned your car for a number of years and have been through a handful of different setups you will relate to this. If you are looking to go turbo from you current setup this review will hopefully point you in the right direction.

Great video with good factual information. Leaving the car show was priceless. That Cobra needs a detailing bad. :)

Were both turbos Precisions?
Yes both were. 67mm could only get up to about 140mph before egts got over 1600. The 74mm has much less heat but the car does not really get moving till very late in the powerband. Prob should be shifting the car at 7500. Over the winter the car will be getting fit with a 70mm and a stock final drive gear which should be the best of both worlds.

So, you short-shifted the KB and brake boosted the turbo then declare turbos are better? That's not remotely a fair comparison.

Good video overall, minor discrepancies with the short shifting but I understand what you were getting after.
