Turbo Blower Combo Questions
Hi all,
Wasn't sure exactly where this question belonged, so I'll place it here as it deals with mechanical issues. Basically, my question deals with Supercharging and Turbocharging a car simulteaneously. On one hand, I know it can be done, but is it well worth it.
The issue at hand deals with a Mustang I found that has a twin turbo kit from HP Performance, I believe it's like a stage 1 turbo kit. My buddy has a Saleen supercharger he was willing to sell me for basically a steal, and it's been hardly used, he's just trading the car in and knows they won't give him anything extra for it. I told him I'd thank about it.
So here I am, thinking about it with some help from you guys. My question would be, what's the best route. Do I keep it twin turbod (not sure hp/tq.) or go just supercharged. It would seem to me the turbos would be better, but who knows? But what seems to be the best way is to use the supercharger for that low end power while the turbos spool up. It has been done, but I'm not sure what all goes into making it worth while. Seems to me it could also be extremely stupid if not done correctly.
I don't want to end up losing performance just because it was cool to have "twin turbos". At the same time, I have seen guys with their muscle cars twin supercharged and that just doesn't work well at all. Doesn't even sound cool either constantly revving up and down. But anyways, just some information would be helpful.
I get to go look at it either this weekend of next, soon as I can make the 8hr drive to Ohio. Later...
