Going by the points system in MCF, it seems that TurboCharge is better than SuperCharge, is this the case? Given a choice, would you SC or TC your car??? or buy a SC or TC car? Is this a topic for L & E or General Car Discussion?

SC for low end torque, TC for high end torque.

Turbo = belt driven by engine , Super charger = driven by eletrical motors . Hence TC should be more efficent and reliable .

i doubt so....turbo is driven by exhaust....SC is driven by belt...given a choice i will choose SC....u do not need to lower ur compression ratio and heat is more managable...

Most of the VW cars comes with SC + TC.

 

Yup but it's mainly mated to small engines so not really that powerful, also not that fuel efficient....

Each type also got high-end and low-end product, no?

 

I'm far from being knowledgeable on this, just heard that some TC got kick-in lag.

 

Ya what's the difference between a light pressure turbo for example those in saab and a big fat one....

Wonder why VW don't twin charged their 2L engines but only 1.4L.

 

maybe cos there is enough torque from the displacement already, that's why the twin charge 14 can accelercate slightly faster initially compared to the 2litre TC...but once the boast kicks in then the 2l tc will overtake

not true. The golf gti will eat up the twin charged goft sports anytime. Tested and proven.

Turbocharged

so which more powderful?

 

Its a question of what you want. SC has no lag whereas TC has lag. I see more SC on bigger cc cars like the audi S series.
