Well when I was procharged I still had my nasty *** donkey dick cam in the car. Nothing like hearing the blower pick up speed when the car would lope!

I love the power of turbos but for sound I voted Procharged. You get the nasty exhaust rasp with the whistle of death. Win win in my book! The turbos cut down on the exhaust pulse that gives you the mean sound.

Magnacharged cars shouldn't even be on this poll.

Turbo FTW.

It's kinda hard to compare. The blower sounds great at or near idle (especially with a cam) and the turbo sounds great when boosting but is quiet at idle.

One of the joys of having a turbo car. I loved hanging out with my buddy TOMZ28 with his aps car. You ovbiously can hear mine all to much but you dont hear turbo cars untill their screaming. One of the best things about them is stealth...I cant get over a decent cam though...how do turbo cars do with a EPP cam? I've got another project I'm gonna start shortly and it includes a snal :-)
