So talking to some car guys over halloween, there was a lot of talk about how these guys loved the super chargers over turbos (a couple of them have cars that run high 8's). There was more hp in the driveway then on the rest of the block (3 x 600+hp diesel trucks for towing the drag cars. 1200ft-lbs in the one in front of me... needless to say i felt small).
I have read a bunch on them, but the only comparisons I could find were on websites for people who like superchargers/make them so they were always biased.
I was wondering, purely from an interest point of view, why do I never see any TDI's (SDI?) with a Supercharger? Would it be possible? Would the drag on the engine be too much of a power loss to over come with the supercharger?
Any thoughts? This is more of me trying to learn more, and pick the brains of the smart people that are on here. That and I think having a golf with a legitimate working hood scoop would make certain people on Vortex's heads explode
