lol I thought the second post was a different person What exactly is your question? I've read it over a bit and still is kind of confusing, not an expert but here's a guess:

1. with turbo wastegate/boost controller (controlling boost)
2. Turbo/Super charger is at an uneffecient rpm (from a bad choice in turbo?) but as uneffeciency rises so does air flow from the turbo


Turbo

The superchargers available for our cars use a centrifugual type blower. So boost (depending on pulley size) arrives around 3.5k rpms and gradually builds until redline, where full boost is reached.

With a turbo, full boost can be reached at 3,000 rpm, depending on turbo and you can achieve good gains at higher rpms as well. Thus due to the more power at lower rpm's a turbo can provide, I believe turbo is the best suited application for the S.

ok this is making me think twice about getting a supercharger now. this sounds like turbo is much more funner to use in the street and also maybe track. But which is faster in 1/4 mile?

turbo- assuming your engine, tranny, and differential stay together.
