turbos are more efficient because they don't rob power from the engine to power the turbine. i don't understand how hard that is to comprehend. i think http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ is a good resource.

Genious!!
I dont think you can argue in general super vs turbo.. there are so many turbo's and blowers out there.. it all depends on the setup...
Like if I ran a IHI, or a stock eclispe turbo on a 429 CJ at 50psi its not goin to be as good as a wielend roots type made for the engine..
But if I run a VW socorocoforoiifnsdlfjoi blower on a 429CJ and a t04e/t3 on a 2.3 that was selected for the setup.. the turbo will be better
There is no right or wrong answer which one will be better.. or more effeicent.. I guess in general you can say turbo's...
I have never thought heat from the exhuast housing causes a difference in compressor housing temps...

Many of them think a turbo heats the air more then a supercharger because its next to the exhaust. Anyone wana help me out? I have told them the facts, and posted a quote from Mike Kojima (engineer, writes for scc and some other magazines). They still dont believe me. I guess what they say about argueing over the internet is true.... oh, here is the link: http://www.b15sentra.net/forums/show...5&pagenumber=1

10 psi is equal to10 psi. How you extract energy from that 10 psi is what makes the difference...
