I know I would go front mount turbo if it was CARB legal. I don't know about that comparison though. Seems a little convenient to compare a system that probably costs almost twice as much and put up better numbers.

i dont doubt the numbers but there is a lot you can't tell from that chart.

ease of install, amount of matainance, "power under the curve"....

i am all about turbos but is imposable for me to not see how a magna charger would be better for most people.

Yea It would be nice to see the dyno graph. Helps people shop better.
I figured i'd post it up for anyone curious. But a graph would be alot more detailed and lets people chose based on where they want power.

I love turbo's more than supercharger's too but I agree that supercharger's are almost plug and play, if you aren't pushing them too far. They are better for most people for sure, but not for people who want lots of power and in some cases lots of headaches.
Also I prefer the way the power comes on with a turbo much better than that of a supercharger but that's just preference.

i love the whine of a loud supercharger but i think for a daily driver turbo's are more practical
