I've seen some people say that the supercharger increases mpg. How the **** is that possible? You can basically say your always on boost , not to mention small things like the added load to your engine via pulley. Turbo ftw , when im not in the mood i would stay in "vacuum" and preserve my already crappy mpg . Turbosuperchargenawzchip ftw :P

^I haven't driven both...but it can be just like stock really. If you don't mash the throttle you won't go into boost. It will drive just like stock. Boost is boost...doesn't matter if it's a TC or SC.

Other than that here are some DD issues I've noticed with turbo
*Turbo timer - you can't lock the doors until the motor is stopped .
*Need to allow a little more time to warm it up before you use moderate throttle because it goes into boost so easily. I find i'm feathering it for the first few minutes .
*I little harder to drive smoothly at medium throttle
nothing too major - i'm still getting used to it .....

Just beyond throttle idle position? Your kidding right? That must feel like **** driving at such low rpm. My point still stands that you will almost always make boost in normal driving conditions. That type of driving is well suitable for old women and such . As you said you boost most the time , thus decreasing mpg , who buys forced induction for increased mpg?

wow how come your so aggressive,,,, Im commenting on my car you can go comment on your car,,,
and your point is completely off I can drive all day long and not hit boost if I dont mash the pedal,, thats the big misconception about SC's
