[QUOTE]Originally posted by mustanggt5091: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Black94 5.0: [qb] Do you know how a turbo works?...Generally speaking, most Turbos wont build boost as early as a blower could...You can get a small turbo to spool up fast, but then you loose the total boost advantage...Turbos work off exhaust pressure, you have to build exhaust pressure to get boost...A blower runs off the crank and as soon as the crank goes the blower goes... :patriot: [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes I know how a turbo works :rolleyes: especially on a V6 :D :D but thats another story. I guess it depends on witch type of blower he is talking about, roots or centrifugal. A twin turbo setup on a small block v8 can acheieve full boost at a very low rpm and lots of it, therfore not loosing the boost advantage. Not to mention less wear on the cranks bearings at higher psi from the added stress caused by the belt on a blower. I will agree with you that a roots style blower can achieve boost quickly, but it also makes a ton of heat. If it were me and you are stuck on picking boost, then I would go with a turbo. If emissions is a concern a ATI with intercooler or Vortec with aftercooler :patriot: and no matter if its a blower or a turbo the NX N-tercooler kit also :D If the car is a street car though, i would look into nitrous, much better on the street than boost in my opinion. Cheaper inital cost and you can turn the extra power on with a button whenever you need it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
