Any PD blower guys go turbo?
#1
Seems like a few guys are jumping ship and going positive displacement blower from their turbo setups. I won't waste forum space by asking another redundant "which is better" thread but I'm curious if any whipple/tvs guys have gone to turbo and why? What are your impressions of either one?

Yup had a pd blower and its fun for instant hit but when you pulley it up the heat is horrible, power robbed is bad, crank stress
Turbo has endless pull unless undersized

I dont wanna get into a pissing match but i recently switched. I like the TVS alot better than the turbo. Instant TQ is awesome. I quick blip of the throttle and your gone. I could not do that with the turbo. Yes the turbo i just turned a **** and i had more boost but the TVS has ALOT more power under the curve. My IATs on my TVS only rise 15* at 13-14psi. The turbo was fun but the TVS is alot funner to drive everyday.

I went from a 112 Magnacharger to my setup in my sig. The Magnacharger was nice, but for all out power my turbo setup is good for my liking. If I was towing I would want a supercharger. I also like the sound of a turbo much better, the supercharger sounded like I ran out of power steering fluid. I wouldn't mind building a procharger setup someday either.
