sorry for the short reply, was quite bored at dat time
what i meant was, heat is need in a turbo to retain is capability to produce boost. dis is is the most important in the hot section, to retain high pressure there, to promote zorst flow, as high possible so dat the compressor will be able to produce boost witout hesitation. because dis heat is needed, the material used in any turbocharged engine is USUALLY (all aluminum VTEC is waay better, imo lah) better den any NA. dats y, when tuning a turbocharged motor, its alwiz good to lean the mixture out before it starts boosting, to create dis high intensity heat in the zorst manifold, to promote faster boost generation
as for supercharger, since it uses power from the crank, the power loss during operation is much higher den dat of a turbocharger. since turbocharger is using the kinetik energy from the zorst gas, it doesnt dissipate as much power as the SC. simple aint it?
although sum will say heat is the mortal enemy of performance, dat isnt necessarily true since the turbocharger was engineered to work in d region of high temperature n pressure.
so, u know y i said a turbocharger is more efficient den an SC
whats dat? lagg u say? hoho.. of course SC is more advantagous in dis aspect, BUT.. if compared a TC an an SC on the same engine capacity, TC will produce better power at the higher end, and if tuned to perfection, lagg wont even be an issue.
wit all dat said, i still luv the SC for its awesome low end torque
