Folks, I know there is a turbo/blower forum, but my question is more hypothetical.
A supercharger such as a roots blower from my understanding increases power evenly over the rpm , that is if you gain %20 at 100rpm you will gain %20 at 5000rpm.
Whereas a turbo has a non linear gain maybe %5 at 1000rpm & %30 at 5000rpm.
So my question is why use a turbo for street use when most people would not use high revs during daily driving? My tacho sits at approx 2000rpm & rarely more.
Is it because at those low rev's no one wants power ,so less fuel is consumed in everyday driving, but when you want go, it is there? My thoughts would be to use a blower allowing more low down grunt & higher gearing.Your thoughts would be appreciated.
