I'd say the other thing that is being skimmed over a bit, is with a S/C, you're driving it with the engine, which soaks up HP. A turbo does so

I'd say the other thing that is being skimmed over a bit, is with a S/C, you're driving it with the engine, which soaks up HP. A turbo does so as well by restricting exhaust pressure, but, not nearly as much as a S/C.
So, in that sense, lb for lb of boost, a turbo does "generate" more power due to it not soaking up as much power to generate that boost pressure. In that sense, a s/c application does show less "gain" at a given boost level. |
