Default Re: Subercharger vs. Turbocharger

Supercarger on a gas engine does the same as a turbocharger on a deisel engine. It runs all the time forcing more air into the intake.

A Turbo on a gas engine just kicks in when you romp on the gas giving a boost when excelerating.

If I were to pick one I'd go for the Supercharger. Increase power across the power band.
If you decide to drop a deisel engine in your H3, don't waste your time on a deisel engine without a turbo.
