[QUOTE="CK@UPP, post: 513059, member: 12273"] No belt slippage problems. No additional side thrust load on the crank from over tightened belt tensioners. No drop in fuel economy from parasitic loss of spinning the SC. More power than an SC, again no parasitic loss. That being said it is not necessarily "more dangerous" because it makes more power. Relatively speaking 8psi is 8psi. Whether from a turbo or an SC. Both will generally make about the same (less thermo efficiencies) power just the SC's end up using that power back up before it reaches the tires (and the dyno). More efficient than an SC. From a thermo standpoint they generate less heat than a PD blower (Eaton, Whipple, Maggi) and are more efficient. Similar to that of a centrifugal (Vortech, Paxton, Procharger). Heat is also one of the #1 causes of detonation leading to engine failure. More low/mid tq/power than centrifugal. Centri SC's rate their boost at redline, so on an 8psi system, you don't get the full 8psi till right about redline. Turbos have inherent lag, but generally 1/3 of the way through the RPM band they're fully spooled and you have your full 8psi to enjoy. Noise when you want it, but not when you don't. Centri's are constantly pushing air (and generating heat) the unused air is disposed of through the BOV [B]constantly[/B] when not under heavy load. The result is you get to listen to a WHISSSSHHHHHH while you cruise down the highway doing 80....constantly..... Options for adjustable boost, including via switch on the fly, vs changing pullies/belts. Generally speaking turbos systems are more complex, and therefore more expensive than SC's. But if your quest is for power, they provide more and are generally worth the investment. Just my .02......but I'm very partial to turbos.... CK [/QUOTE]
