turbo vs. super

["Steven Smith" <smithspeedway@yahoo.com>]

A turbo relies on rpm's to build horsepower.  They do very little for off the
line performance.  Also, the "turbo lag" can be a little disconcerting.  You
mash the throttle, and the car sort of swells up to the acceleration.  A
supercharger is more direct.  Hit throttle and go.  While the turbo is driven
by exhaust gas, the super charger (or "blower") is belt driven.
