Default Do NOT post turbo vs supercharger threads.

The topic has been beat to death, and most of the time, it starts as a dreamer coming in and asking simply which one is better.

That's a loaded question. It is dependant on your goals, your preferences, your budget, your mechanical skill level etc etc etc.

Any post with this will get an instant lock and a warning. All it does is turn into a bash fest in here.

I have a personal preference, but it's based on what I have and enjoy, but I'm not biased to other opinions or options. Too many people take it personally, and shouldn't.

It's not a question that has a right or wrong answer, kind of like automatic vs stick. It's whatever you like.

Rant off.

Maybe you could link the 40+ threads in the last year or so that each have 50+ replies of arguing. I'm sure they could collect all of the info they need from those.

I would have no problem with someone posting it, if it was constructive. But each time, the person posts, who is most likely a tire kicker, and will never do FI because of the money involved, so it just starts a shitstorm, with the same players each time.

There have been times where there were multiple threads with this same topic being argued back and forth... Nothing ever comes of it.

I'm never a problem. I'm the solution. Some just get their drivelines in a twist for no reason.

I knew a guy that had a procharger. The only *** he could get was from philipino transvestite hookers. Then he switched to turbo. His name Hugh Hefner.
