it's not worth an extra

£1000 to supercharge

- it'll be just as laggy as a turbo yet won't give as much power.

if it's a centrifugal supercharger it definately isn't worth it!

"See, here we have another example of the classic SC vs turbo debate.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
SC has parasitic losses while a turbo setup has lag.

The funny thing about this argument is that the centrifugal blower guys ALWAYS like to bring this up.

LAG.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
They just don't seem to realize that their centrifugal SC has more lag than almost every street turbo setup that has ever been imagined.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Reason? The SC is relying on crankshaft rotations to spin it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Any centrifugal compressor wheel has to get to a certain speed before it will kick out any boost at all, so even with that centrifugal supercharger you have to get it to xxxxrpm before it gives you any boost, but then you don't get full boost, cause the engine is not spinning fast enough yet.

It takes hitting redline to hit full boost.

Meanwhile, the turbo car in the next lane hit full boost before VTEC even kicked in and walked away hard.

Poor SC guys.

I feel bad for them.
