how about hopes and dreams I have a few of those that aren't crushed yet
So, WHY would you want to give your dreams away?
My waking hour dreams are unobtainable at current and my nocturnal dreams are curse more than blessings
That turbo is huge!
Reminds me of this:
Except for the right engine haha!
if you want "off the line" power why are you using a turbo?
Should you want the instant response of a supercharger?
Haha, that is funny! I do love Top Gear, one of my favorite shows. Not that retarded US version though...
Granted, I don't share Clarkson's opinion of it not being possible to make a average car hold it's own against a super car. But, there are enough people out there that would make a car like THAT, and run their mouth, so I can understand how he would form that opinion.
After seeing Jeremy try and work on cars like the Caterham, I wouldn't trust his opinion for much.
Practicality, cost, and a few other small things. Like turning a supercharger puts a good amount of strain on your crank.
Spooling isn't really a issue. That is what slipping the clutch, and loading it up is for. Maybe a line-lock... When I was driving the Dodge RAM with a 5.9 12V, I would left-foot-brake it to spool up to about 5psi, and it would launch hard, and before I knew I was riding on the wastegate.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not one of those people who think you can't put a supercharger on a diesel. I've seen what they can do, and it is mean. I was looking at a guys truck the other day with a Whipple 2.3 on a Cummins running about 4psi AT IDLE, which fed into a Turbocharger using a bypass that kicked in around 15psi. A crazy setup I would love to try some day.
