If you want all the real facts about blowers then buy a book called "Supercharged!"

I believe the Turbo book is called Overboost or Maximim boost... something like that. Google it if you're really interested. They are like $40 but well worth the read.

Okay to finally get back to all of you, I donr have a dual stage setup, I'm now running just turbo , and ll i can say is, Be in my shoes, I'm telling the truth, I ran a Jackson racing water injectionon my supercharger at 7psi and at 11 psi, the supercharger ran a better run at at 7psi then it did at 11psi, even with the water the intake temperatures were recorded at 95F hotter with 4psi more, come to my worls and talk if you think you know what you are talking about, My fastest run on th 1/4 was 15.8 with supercharger, so far i have raced 3 laps down the track with the turbo and i've ran 15.2 spinning 1st and 2nd the laps i did with the supercharger was with semislicks, I have ****tons of lag with the turbo, but once its there it hold full boost the whole time. I have a t3/t4 TO4E Turbo running 9-10 psi, 12'x24"x3" intercooler, 38mm external wastegate, greddy BOV, Walbro255 Blox Regulator, I'm needinf some help on the SAFC though, it is apexi gen 2 the car runs well with out it, but when i put on the safc and up the fuel it runs really well through 1st and 2nd , but when it gets to 3rd it falls on its face (Like there is no HP) no clue what is goin on. it also dsoesnt like the jump from no boost to boost PLease send me info, if anyone has an SAFC and is using it on there car

 

you might need larger injectors and/or a bigger fuel pump. Also it could be the way that the ECU and safc are talking to eachother.

 

for the vacuum-boost transition, you need something called a "missing link" there are other companies that make it, and they work as well as the actual ML from Synapse. i havent actually had any experience with it, but it seems pretty simple, and seems to clear up that little problem nicely. check out ebay for a good price on one.
