BadAzz, I’ve gotta disagree with that one. Blower is heavier, adds more weight up high (where you dont want it) and has minimal gains compared to a good turbo setup. I cannot think of a SINGLE road course car with a blower. Whereas most of the high end GT class cars are either turbo or 9000rpm NA motors. ---

supercharging weather it be belt or turbine driven is the way to go IMHO. N2O can be less expensive and easier to install but, to me, you dont have to refill a turbo every 10 shots or so. It dosent really matter because to each his/her own, whatever works the best for your car and budget is going to be the best choice. ---

Blower is heavier, adds more weight up high (where you dont want it) and has minimal gains compared to a good turbo setup. I cannot think of a SINGLE road course car with a blower. Whereas most of the high end GT class cars are either turbo or 9000rpm NA motors. large road course and a man sized motor, turbo sounds good. but he said small tight course, so id rather have instant blower power in the midrange for that. I also dont see any significant weight difference between the two and they are mounted in the same location My preference is turbo + nitrous 4TMFW but even I cant argue with the fact that the quickest and fastest cars in the world have a blower on them 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turbo-vs-n20-which-one-do-you-prefer-and-why/15554.md?page=2)
