And correct me if I'm mistaken, but with a turbo you dial back the boost if need be and turn up the power whenever you want it.
Hmm...
Same with a supercharger. Just swap pulleys.
Not the same.
Just finished getting a CSX sorted out after 6 months of work. I can alter the power from 150 hp to 270 hp with just a tap of the boost controller while tooling down the street.
My knowledge on boosting engines isn't amazing, but I'm assuming if you have a boost controller, you also have some sort of on-board computer and fuel injection kit to dial in the boost and change the tune not to blow the engine. How do you do that with a carbureted system?
I'm assuming the op is budget minded as he keeps talking about cost. I know people say throwing on a turbo is cheap, but almost all of the budget builds I have seen have cost over $1500 and many more man hours.
