Re: newb question

Very Basic. These are 2 different technologies and BTW I will move this to Tech and Mods soon. Actually think this wa covered there before.

Turbo- This is a little more complicated but it is controlled by a wastegate, which route the exhaust gases around the turbine to slow the turbo down, thus limiting boost. They can also use a pop off valve in the intake but this is for overboost conditions as an additional safety option.

Supercharger- Size of the pulley that is attached to the supercharger. Smaller the pulley the more boost you run. Pop off vavles can be used here too to control overboost but not really needed because of the nature of this technology.


Andrew, We Miss and Love You! Peace!
