dem beats

Twin turbo with a couple tunes. ;-) 1000 HP DD that will sip gas if you have it turned down.

I would guess that all spinning parts after the motor would take less of a beating if the power happens a bit higher in the RPMs. What I do know anecdotally from every single bit of reading is that the tune and how the tranny is told to change gears and when makes more impact on the longevity than everything else combined. Clean shifts at the right time can make a tranny handle way mote engine than it's meant to, same with a sloppy tune for than tranny will send it in to the shop even on an engine that doesn't hit half it's rated power.

I'm not disagreeing I hope you know, I just don't understand. I want to though. I would also imagine less friction and less heat too from a snail shaped S/C, and then even more energy turned into pressure.

Twin screws will put out massive Tq instantly and a centri will build boost more progressively and generally have much much less torque and it comes on later. A good twin screw setup will feel like a big block all motor car. In a big SUV a whipple or manga charger type setup would shit all over a centri for daily driving.That doesn't make sense, the centrifugal could just be geared to blow harder. I don't understand some of this, obviously, but a lower amount of rotating mass like a centrifugal blower sounds like it would be less parasitic and if a turbo can produce huge wind, so can a belt driven snail, that is all just a matter of the pulleys and ratios.

DM called me today. He took a job moving him back to Atlanta and gave me the most positive pep talk I have ever had from a boss. "The market needs you...... Apply for the new area manager jobs... You are a natural leader.... Etc" It sounds like smoke up my ass, but it felt sincere. I wasn't to fond of the guy originally, but he made a change mid year and I think I'm going to miss the guy a little bit.

I had a guess that diesels put out more exhaust at lower RPM and that's why. Thank you for the explanation. I usually learn a lot when you post even if it's subjects I disagree on, or feel decently informed on. You should think about teaching some day.

Why is a screw preferred to a centrifugal?

They sound great!!!

Hanging a turbo way away from the heat source in a salt bath in MN doesn't seem like a good idea to me though Agreed, but you will have dround clearance to make a shroud for it no problem. It is not ideal perhaps. I'm spitballing. You also know huge snails give me fat rubbery ones. I like turbos, what can I say?

One set of rims on one side, another on the other. LoL

So something like the STS rear mount system would be legit? I thought turbochargers were best at creating high TQ situations, and that is why they are used with diesels so often. I don't think I have ever seen a supercharged diesel..... Probably not the same thing, but all combustion engines are basically big air pumps so my dumb ass logic would think.....

Awash=ah ha

No, as long as you maintain the stock configuration of your exhaust it is legal. You cannot go from a 2 cat system to a one cat system. Awash it's all about the cats!

Every bike slip on can too? Mind blown...

Any exhaust modifications???? WTF? So then my wider exhaust on my Jetta was illegal too?

I just don't understand how a turbo can be illegal, but a S/C isn't. Fucking crazy.

Why is a turbo not legal but a charger is? That was my confusion.

Remorse and you don't even have it in hand yet? I'm already sad about whatever I buy next as it won't be a want but a need.

Be aware they are noisy beasts. Constantly noisy beasts. Not really what I want....just cheap and easy. Same it's pretty straight forward. But personally I'd rather have a turbo. But the turbo kits for my car are 1k more expensive. If Turbo's were legal modifications I wouldn't hesitate at all. I just might use this as my toy hauler for years to come so I don't want to be undoing what I've done.Legal???

Yes, and hurry up and take over so you can hire me. I keep getting promoted but no $$ to go with it.

HBD brochacho!!!!

Awesome. Sounds like a good trip.

I love the yellow

With a blower that thing will double as a log chiper.

New lawn mower. Sean is always over the top.
