Turbos etc have come a long way since the 80s. I've driven about 1,000,000 in turbocharged cars, the days of peaky, lag-ridden engines has passed.My current 2 liter turbo pulls like a much bigger engine. Built for grunt.I bet they'll be cool. By the way, I've never had a turbo problem of any sort.
If the supercharged engine was exhibiting lag , something was wrong with it . Dusty
The type of compressor is a BIG factor on speed of boost rise.Either a centrifugal or positive displacement (roots or scroll) The positive displacement have the practical potential of almost instant boost.But the fly in the ointment is the high bmep and how to deal with that.There is always a trade somewhere. (over simplified of course)mike

This would be an engineer speaking here :D Yep , a true supercharged engine should not exhibit lag if tuned properly . Dusty
So... do ya want 5000 HP or practicality ? ;D Dusty
Forced aspiration in spark ignited motors is a loathsome excercise in diminishing returns. I LOVE forced aspiration for diesels but loathe it for petrol engines. Jude has a turbo petrol Eos. Biggest turd ever!Pete
What about a pressurized single cylinder pushrod with a two speed transmission James old boy ? ;D Dusty
