hey im not very mecanically minded but how does a supercharger work compared to the turbo charger? im guessing that the turbo sucks cold air in and the supercharger creates its own air? please correct me if im wrong

They both force air fuel mixture through the engine. Blower is driven by a belt and uses some of the engines output to drive it. Turbo is driven by waste exhaust output and has no power robbing effect..

Ditto, poll sucks, nothing beats the sound of a N/A V8 coming straight out of the headers

Must agree further - there nothing like a big 8

Even better is when you beat the crap out of that stupid rice muncher and he doesnt hear a thing.

On a Car I vote Supercharger, Nothing chit’s me more than a Blow off valve on a turbo, that sound is so annoying.

But hearing a V16 twin turbo diesel spool up to full noise at 1950RPM is just wicked, sounds like you are about to take off, and the rhythmic diesel tick at idle is sick.

Blower whine. Especially a Kenne Bell on an '03-'04 Cobra.

However, I prefer the turbocharger design to supercharger. So I'm stuck.

I love the sound of a blower on an angry 8, but Turbo spool ups sound wicked too.

Nothing gets my hair standing on end, like the sound of a lumpy 8, cruising around Summernats, with a blower and bug catcher hanging out the bonnet. :
