RE: Bottom End Performance Mods

[Bryan Billings <vwxcross@worldnet.att.net>]

In a turbo you have lag.  It may not kick in until 3500 rpms.  A 
supercharger starts about 200 rpm all through out the spectrum.  It does 
not require a intercooler in most cases.  A turbo has to be cooled by a 
intercooler (in most cases)  this means when you get out of your car you 
have to let it idle until your turbo is cool.  If you don't you will 
seriously take the life away from it.  super chargers from rimmer run 
3999.00 with the header and k and n filter and chip.

This is why I can take a Eclipse CS-T (turbo 210hp) off the line cause 
210hp is peak not on the tap.

Is there a difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger?

and what kind of price are we talking on this ND SC?
