I don't know what makes you think supercharged cars are more reliable and/or easier to fix than turbo cars.

I was referring to just the turbo system itself vs. the actual supercharger. From what I've read on the web a long time ago, I recall that the supercharger has a lot less moving parts hence less potentially problematic areas. I don't know sh1t about turbos except that it runs off exhaust gasses, has a turbine or something, a blow-off valve, & they make a hiss when bypassing unused boost. I know they should be more fuel efficient vs. a SC. Maybe you could enlighten me ;D

While N/A i don't have to worry about imploding the trans


Not that much anyway.



Also yes, all the slow

Do you have to have an intercooler set-up to run a turbo set-up???

Your mom imploded a trans and she's N/A..

And my dad, but that was just TCC and PCS issues.

Moms car slippes because i think someone did a flush on it. But i could be wrong. It actually doesn't slip much after i did a pan drop with Dex VI and Lucas. Bangs into gear once in a while she says tho.

That's a good point. Funny, though, with my personal experience I imploded the motor & not the trans. I did have the trans rebuilt waaay back in 2008 IIRC, & did a motor swap for a pretty good price in 2011. The trans rebuild was a LONG time before I started learning to work on my car & knew anything about the SC & how it works & headers, rockers, pulleys, and all that. ~30K+ on the used motor. Runs like a dream Odometer says 205,000+, Lol

Its not necessary, but it helps with being able to run higher boost.

Sitting in my work truck watching the mpgs go down. Over in Ohio with a field harvest. I gave up and decided to sit inside in some heat. Its kinda chilly out.

I watched the MPG's drop in the F250 yesterday when I was hauling the damn trailer. It was around 14 mpg when I left. By the time I got to the destination it was down to 10.2.

Lol. Mines not that bad yet. Started at 19.5 and down to 18.4 now

Took Shadow out for a little photo shoot. Got a free radio put in and enjoyed the ride.

I'd love to be able to, I just can't at this point in my life.

To many damn kids lol I have zero and I'm debating on getting fixed so it never happens lol

Went for a test run



Then had a cop shine his spotlight at me...lol

Took off this morning, and the power steering pump went on the first corner.
