[QUOTE="Booyah, post: 1289341, member: 307"] General rule of thump for parasitic lose for chargers. For every 100 hp you make with a supercharger you usually lose 25 - 30 hp. However, with a turbo it's usually a lose of 10 - 15 hp due to back pressure from the exhaust. Now as to why you would want a roots style over a centrifugal style charger is personal preference. If you want a slam you back, ass clencher type ride go with a roots style supercharger. If you want to keep building momentum and have a more linear type of speed as you get more RPM's then go with a centrifugal. And as stated before, turbo's give you pretty much what both a roots and a centrifigual style supercharger give you with less parasitic lose. You'll have nice lowend torque(if you get the right sized turbo for your engine) and the same nice highend flowing capability that the centrifugal has. [/QUOTE]
