uhmm I know im not 100% on turbos but can you explain that statement???
as far as I was aware with my limited understanding of turbo theory the basis of turbo flow is centred around rpm, or really exhaust air velocity vs impleller design and intake side housing capacity.
soooo, effectively you need rpm high enough to create a pressure inside the intake side housing against the intake ports, generally speaking boost wont start to be created until a pressure differential has been reached, the differential wont happen until the impeller reaches a speed at which the pressure flow exceeds the intake velocity at atmospheric.
in other words boost WONT happen immediately as opposed to a SC which as Stew has allready pointed out is a direct drive on a mechanical level and therefore bosst IS instant.
Quote: | Whilst it may not be making boost right off idle, it will bring full boost (and hence full power) on quicker...
|
Im not sure this is right either, because the turbo needs velocity on the exhaust to even start creating velocity on the intake then it will not create full boost immediately or indeed faster, an SC has maximum boost in relation to cyclinder speed and charge instantly in relation to rpm
Quote: | The turbo can have boost adjusted by the flick of a switch..
|
you can do the same with an SC by turning the clutch on and off or using a bleed management system
