supercharger v turbo how much psi???


Recommended Posts

Both really, but more so turbo. If you run a large enough exhaust housing on a turbo then you'll boost later in the rev range, almost eliminating the sudden mid rev range 'kick' you'd get with a small housing, so more like a supercharger.

The only thing I would add is the plastic intake is only really weak in terms of backfires during start up, which can blow the variable tract cover off, or burst a runner open. A properly tuned 24V (i.e. no boost spikes) can handle a bar of boost.

Also worthy of note is the R32 intake is stronger, but it doesn't fit the 24V head sadly. Good excuse to drop an R32 head on, providing it's a BDE engine :-)
