[QUOTE="GNBRETT, post: 15636166, member: 111882"] when you compare the two the Turbo is the clear winner. The Turbo kit will do everything the Blower can do but better. If ur goals are to keep the car forever then you will want to make more power down the road. [U]Disadvantages of the Supercharger are:[/U] 1.) heat sink. (I had ALL the cooling mods in my blower car. didn't matter!) 2.) belt slippage. (Shredded a couple belts leavn me stranded on hi-way) 3.) having to swap pulleys when wanting to make more power. PITA 4.) far worse gas mileage! (12 mpg w/TVS....16 mpg w/ Turbo kit) 93 octane. 5.) 2.3 Blowers have a ceiling on power. big blowers are slow to come on. 6.) less TQ. 7.) less horsepower! 8.) less efficient. 9.) blower whine. (some care for it I don't) 10.) linear power curve. every blower car on 93 octane makes the same power basically. 11.) on 93 octane my Turbo car made 150 more hp then my TVS 2.3 did and almost 200 ft lbs more of TQ. sure u can make decent power with E85 with a TVS but at 30% LESS gas mileage in a car that already gets 12 mpg on 93 octane wasn't an option for me. 12.) doesn't cool anywhere near like a Turbo kit does. well, at lest no where near what a CPR Turbo kit does. my intake temps have never been higher then 25 degrees above ambient in ANY temp! [U] Disadvantage of the Turbo:[/U] 1.) Turbo lag..... lol maybe 20 years ago but not with todays technology. jus doesn't exist anymore. My 76/88 mm Turbo (Which wud be considered BIG by most standards) comes on instantly with stock heads/cams/intake. 2.) cost slightly more up front. 3.) requires a different TQ converter if its an auto. 4.) more difficult to tune. there are no canned Turbo tunes. 5.) perform much better with a 6r80 and most ppl are stick. with the Turbo kit you get the 2.3 TVS blower and the 3.4 Whipple crusher in one package! just a matter of turning up the boost and adding better fuel.....
