My turbo is about 100x more violent than my blower was. Although my combo is put together to be instant spooling and make peak power by 5200 to save the stock block.
My blower made 383trq and my turbo makes 612trq at comparable RPMs.
Well you were clearly making a lot less power with the blower setup. If you're making similar numbers it's a much different story.
I've been in a blower car making more power than mine and it still wasn't as fun. It was an auto though, so that's probably why.

Yea auto blower cars are pretty lame. Auto turbo cars are a different story.

im wanting to go s/c because its simple. a lot of my friends have turbo cars ( ricers
) and all they do is bitch about tuning and spark maps and fuel curves and blah blah blah.centri+ fuel mods + sct =
im not anti-turbo, just anti-constant headache.

No headaches...u can still tune your car via SCT or twEECer and run a turbo. The major reason they (ricers) complain about that is so they look cool. With the right supporting mods you run a decent amount of boost from a turbo, make damn good hp, tremendous amounts of tq and still have room to play later in the game.
