For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    it depends, for more boost from a supercharger, you have to change pulleys. on a turbo, you fuck with the wastegate. supercharger is instant power, but it is also a parasitic drag due to the fact that it is crank driven. turbos have lag, but do not create drag on the motor. ive seen many 1000+hp SC cars, and also seen many 1000+hp turbod cars. i prefer turbo, but its my opinion. some prefer supercharger. it is possible to push a turbo past its efficiency limit and actually loose power, but superchargers for the most part can push as much boost as the pulley will allow.

        no there are some that you can find... or atleast mod to fit.. BESIDES... the best gain i can see.... cooler air = more hp.. we all know that... so if ur compressing air from the exhaust this is now hot compressed air... yes i know compressing makes it hot either way but... not as much as the exhaust does... so by goin supercharger there is a signif. diff. in air temp... so in contrast they both have their ups and downs... but yes like said its constant boost from the go.. no spuling up needed... personaly id go super. cause every one has the turbo... go diff if you can make it work for ya...

        BTW... the sig of the cars ^^^^ where r those comin from?

          im pretty sure if hes asking this question, hes not ready to modify a blower to fit our car. cutting and moving the firewall is difficult (to fit the JRSC blower) and modifying a vortech type blower would be a terrible waste of time as those arent really all that efficient and have some of the negatives of a turbo . . . some not all

          about the sig cars, i found a base in a link someone posted . . . and posted it here, i made my car, and a couple other peoples cars, but since i couldnt find a suitible base for the 5th gen i had to modify the 4th gen base to look like a 5th gen . . . if you look closely you can see the similiarities

            thats what i ment ... the exhaust is whats being used to compress (spin on to the other) the air wich is what causes the heat transfer...

            and...

            yea i know not the best and its for the prelude.. but its the same intake mani...but it does say its only like a 68hp .... not much but not bad

            ohh.. and nice jobs on the cars...cause i knew of this place where you put in ur yr and which vw you had.. bug bus or gia... and you can change it all up just like that...

                the exhaust isnt doing anything with a supercharger, theres a belt attatched to a gearbox and another belt attatched to the crank that does all the compression
                the JRSC blower wont fit our cars without mods to the firewall as i said before

                yea . . . theres a site that will do it for 2 bucks, but why spend the 2 bucks if you can do it yourself right? . . . www.topendmotorsports.com i think . . .

                EDIT: direct link . . . i didnt like what they did with te bomex accord . . . or that car at all really, the angle sucked too
