C'mon guys -- stop throwing out stuff you read in sport compact car and the typical import magazines

a) Turbo lag -- this can be really huge or it can be really small. I think the Audi 1.8T has one of the least minimal turbo lags because of the compressor size. Turbo lag is going to be dependent on the size of the turbo. Goto big -- you'll have big lag ... but a huge jet--like thrust when it kicks in. To small, you'll have instant power -- but, less top-end power.

b) Superchargers can give just as much power IMHO ... I know, people disagree -- but, I've seen numerous 11 psi vs. 11 psi -- and if they are tuned properly .. the superchargers are right with the turbo's. The turbo's are more fun b/c of the torque slam that you will experience.

Why did you try to dis on what I said, then say the exact same thing but in different words?
