  14. Um, having no lag is a very good argument, don't be so stupid.Don't presume to think that turbos give your power for nothing, just like a supercharger puts a small load on the engine to drive the charger, the mechanics of a turbo means there's a resistance placed on exhaust flow which is more predominant at the lower end. Depending on the fan size, weight, and boost pressure, the "larger" the turbo the worse off you'll be for torque at the lower end through lag - although this is regained in the horsepower gained. Comes down to whether you like having high torque or high horsepower. I personally would prefer the torque hence why i'd prefer a supercharger. Just out of curiosity, are there any turbos that aren't on fulltime, I know with s/c's you can have them hooked up to switches so you only use it when you want it...ie, when you want to guzzle gas yes but a supercharger puts 5% load on an engine whereas a turbo only puts 1.5%yes larger turbos do have bigger lag if not suited to the engine they are mated to but if you have the right size turbocharger to a vehicle then you get little or no lag, also another option obviously being twin turbo setup with smaller turbo down low etc. also a supercharger only kicks in around 3000rpm which dosent give you a hell of a lot of down low power after all.
  15. happy birthday mate, have a good one
  16. 320i looks like a minta, atlantic blue is a cool colour, if u buy one that i find ull have to bring the piss money down to a palmy meet
  17. Which do you prefer? and why? would like to see some good explinations why, hear stupid comments like superchargers are better because they have no lag, which is a sh*t argument. lets hear your thoughts. sparkle

    Eminem - Encore

    hope you not saying bout me bro, led zep for example, have currently about 15+ led zep records incl raritys like live in auckland etc, know lots about the band incl robert plant not wanting to get the band back together incase it affected his solo career, jimmy pages fasination with crowley (who ozzy also made a song about) and weird things, how john paul jones helped with the latest datsuns CD, and how John "Bonzo" Bournham died while the band were on tour.pink floyd and led zep rule..along with alot of other metal - im guessin this is wat ur talking about *sic, abby, floyd and zep arent metal, more rock and rock/blues i agree with dave as well, maybe not his extent but i listen to a huge variety, i listen and like hip hop at times, like some eminem, scribe, and jay z, but cant stand snoop or chingy. Love rock especailly earlier rock from the 60s 70s and 80s. Getting into the beatles at the mo. Would like to get into some blues at some point as i like BB king and also early blues like willy johnson, not a huge fan of pop.
  20. dont be puttin down dakar!
