How bad is the turbo surge on 7 - 9 psi and the lag?
This was one thing i forgot to ask before i got my SC because i read somewhere that it can be hard and cause you to crash... which kinda lead me the SC way.

 

wtf?

 

i had read this article awhile back talkin about steer racing. To cut it short the kid was racing, crashed into a tree and was asked some questions by a police officer. He told them that he thought he had control of his car then all of a sudden it just surged forward twisting the wheel and he crash into the tree.
Now i am askin is this for real. Or was it some story made up to stop street racing. Cause i read this and thought it was true and it gave the final push i needed to go the SC route since its more predictable.

 

I think whathe's talking about is torque steer.

 

a supercharger doesn't have any lag or surge... it's instant boost that remains constant throughout the whole rpm range. A turbo has lag. Turbos usually kick in at (II'm all-motor, so correct me if I'm wrong) somewhere around 3,000 rpm. Also, I doubt it's enough to cause a crash, even in all-out racing vehicles.

 

^ The rpm range that a turbo spools depends on which turbo you are using.

 

depends on turbo, engine, piping, and some other fun factors...

 

so you guys are sayin that this would not be likley to happen?

 

I think this kid was trying to make a excuse why he crashed and this is the excuse that he gave the cops.

 

to OP,

do you even know the difference between compressor surge and lag?
