ok loosers ive been in this site for quite a while now and ive noticed that you ****faces in here dont know **** about cars let alone forced induction like turbos and superchargers so im about to explain to you loosers the truth about these two things...
Turbos. Alot of people claim they make your car faster but they really dont because a complete turbo system is really really heavy. So lets say you add a turbo kit on your civic and before the turbo it ran 16 secs. in the 1/4 well now with the turbo it will run about 17 to 18 secs. because the turbo kit complete adds about 400 to 500 lbs. to your car depending on the kit you have. therefore adding a turbo to your car is pointless. But still you say well "why do they make em if there worthless?" well the answer is because with a turbo kit you can get the cool blowoff valve noise that it makes plus you also get that cool intercooler in the front and some really cool chrome piping but thats it nothing else.But is all that **** really worth the cost? (3000 to 5000 bucks)well yes because even thought your car is slower with the turbo you still think your cool and **** so yes its worth it.Oh and the more lbs of boost you run the heavier your turbo becomes because thats why they call it "lbs" of boost or in dumbass terms psi because it adds weight. Oh and if your car is currently giving you like 25 mpg without the turbo with it your car should get aoubt 2-3 mpg because not only does your turbo actually make your engine loose hp because of the turbo manifold and blowoff valve that releases air instead of giving it to your engine but its heavy ass ****.
so if your car is making like 200 hp at the wheels w/out the turbo then with it it would drop down to like 150 hp because thats just how **** is so if you want to get the max hp out of your turbo then you have to close your exhaust pipes with like duct tape or some**** so no exhaust gets out thus giving your engine more air and make more hp...so remember turbos suck they make your car slow ass hell. so your best mod to get the max hp out of your engine is to simply cover your exhaust exits (mufflers) with duct tape so no exhaust gets out through there thus giving your engine more air and getting more hp... trust me just go try it after you read this and find out for your self you wont be dissapointed.
OH and supercharges suck also for the same reasons as the turbos.
uh...yeh wink
