[QUOTE="HAYNES OFFROAD, post: 809401, member: 2684"] Now now, nothing bad about forced induction... It all comes down to filtration. Any forced induction, supercharger or turbo, will be "sucking" harder though the intake than a naturally aspirated setup. Engines are basically glorified air pumps that mixes in some flamible substance to continue the pumping motion. Even naturally aspirated motors still suck air through the intake on its own. So naturally, the harder it sucks, the more chance of particles forcing they're way through the filter media. Put in a cheap filter, no bueno. Put in a high quality filter, your good. BUT, you will have to change filters more often with forced induction because they will suck more air over the same time period than a naturally aspirated engine. Again, the key is good filtration (besides good tuning). In the end, proper maintenance on forced induction will go a long way. Were running a twin turbo LS1 pumping 750hp on our buggy and have logged more than 1500 hours in the sand, and have had no engine failures to speak of. Our transmission on the other hand.... [/QUOTE]
