[b]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.

For the record, the Alpine Developments 2.0L turbo with intercooler kits weighs in a just a little under 80-lbs. The supercharger kits weighs in at around 50-lbs.

Wrong wrong wrong you are #$%^&* wrong! do you smoke crack? because i think you do.
First off forced induction on any car/truck "Definition for forced induction: any type of air via supercharger, blower, or turbo. Definition turbo: exhaust drive blower" Will make more hp/lb torque than any NA car period. Ex: Turbo kit total weight includes upper/lower IC bov external/internal wastegate innercooler turbo EBC or MBC and extra oil will weigh about 100LB max. Depending on boost and internal motor strength which includes lighter than stock parts. Goes over and beyond the little amount of weight you have added. Conclusion you are assed backwards with anything you say. lay off the pipe.

Ex of fast cars that use boos:: any drag car: nitrodrags funnycars 99% of prostock all have forced induction!

If a turbo will make a car have less power than explain to me why a jet engine lets say the ge90 can create 124,000 ibs of thrust when to make it so most of you can understand it is just a giant turbo? Wow i think someones mother should have not smoked crack while pregnant!!!

I actually did not know who corky bell was until I looked it up just now. I thought you guys were talking about Corky Thatcher from life goes on... It makes sense either way though
