Default just curious supercharger vs turbo ...

i have a turbo d16 right now, and this is the first turbo car i've owned/driven. i've never driven a supercharged honda, and just out of curiosity, how does it feel to drive one?

my turbo is like .. slow up until 4.5k then its turns into a rocket ship at 5k on. so how does a supercharger feel?

lets just say this, if the FI section was turned into the TURBO section most people would not mind. Each way of forced induction has its purpose and crowd. Most prefer turbo, blowers are usually very linear roots or centrifugal and to me end up just feeling like a NA car with more torque... then again that kind of is the goal of superchargers, to make it feel like yo have a larger engine. I wrote a much more in depth article on the topic and it can be seen here:
