Saying you had an unlimited budget and a 2008 5.4 XLT and you wanted to jack up the HP and Torque would you rather have a turbocharger or a supercharger?

 

depends on your goals and useage



for a track only vehicle then turbo

for a DD a positive displacment supercharger

 

turbos make more power...

day to day ied still turbo..

i think people rag on turbos because of lag but turbos are so much better now and as long as its built right it will be better all around then compared to a supercharger...

thats my 2cents

For a truck I would want the positive displacement supercharger.
For a car or maybe a very light single cab truck a turbo.

just a lazy subscribe, see what most ppl would put on their DD. but is there such a thing as a negative displacement charger?

 

there are only centrufigal and positive displacement (TVS, twin screw and roots)

 

hahahahahahaha I know. i just thought it was funny....guess that was only me

 

 

Yeah,,,, the one you dont have.

Phil

 

imma go supercharged.

 

ok what if the hose on my procharger got disconnected on the exiting side so the motor is sucking air thru the innercooler and theres no boost from the charger but the charger is still blowing air everywhere...i guess that would be since its more draining on the engine than it is helping.

any of yall heard about PSE's lightning thats twin supercharged?

 

it produces a lot of heat poor truck could've had a KB 2.8 or a whiple 2.3 and made more power

 

which one?????

 

Unlimited budget? Turbo. If the setup is that serious then there wouldn't be anything a blower could do better other than burn up belts. Be able to buy a serious turbo with custom hotside/coldside covers, AMS1000 boost controller, custom plumbing....you name it. There are a lot of goodies that would make even a serious turbo setup more than docile for DD duty and an absolute blast at the track.

 

which one would give better milage?
