A friend of mine has just bought a Corrado G60, and i was wondering if a super chager run boost like a turbo and what psi it would be? Or is it totaly different? I know it runs off a belt rather than the exhaust but thats about it :-?

alright chap...hows it going?... the supercharger does run in psi...as standard about .6-.8bar...u can get smaller pulleys and stuff so it runs different levels of boost...my m8s Golf Rallye used to run about 1.2 bar boost off the charger (stage 4 jabba sport one)...recorded a 240bhp run with it at that level

i think smaller pulley equals more punch from the blower

Another fact :

You will get more power from a turbo than a supercharger, because the supercharger is belt driven, it takes power to make power.

whereas theres no lag from a supercharger due to the same fact.

swings and roundabouts

superchargers don`t last aslong either, and u gotta fit the bugger somewhere. Turbos rock, its free power, not ££ but u know wot i mean, lol just uses wasted exhaust gasses

and you can have a turbocharger and a supercharger running together!

Iremember seeing a mk 1 nissan micra which was improted from japan. It had a one litre engine that was supercharged and turbo charged as explained above. Some bloke down madera drive had it, and is was standard from Nissan. He said it was pretty rapid
