I like the idea of a downstream supercharger to the drive train but would probably create backpressure in the system lowering spool speed to the prievious turbos and etc. Also not sure how the pulse jet would deal with it.

What about running piezoelectric crystals in the tires so that the tires slight flex while driving down the road builds a current to be used for a high spark COP setup. Then used the gyroscopic force of the wheels spinning to balance the car on a wall and drive up buildings using the TZ uburboostchargejetofpawnedge! OEM engineers-FAIL no flying cars

I thought about a supercharger, but being at 5400' ASL a turbo would give more power. IMO!

On a more serious note, smaller turbo quicker spool and still more power than super.

Do we really want to go there and have a serious discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of each? I wasn't sure we did.

(Jeopardy Audio Daily Double) I don't think some people in Miataland really want to have this discussion.

Agreed, I'd rather not see another argument thread haha. Still love this was one of the first things in the turbo section though.

I used to have a supercharger. It sucked. Went turbo, have more torque/power everywhere. Better gas mileage.

I'm bolting on 100 more whp this weekend

Have fun with your stupid chargers, losers

I will admit, the sound of a M45/62 is a good sound...esp. when unthrottled.
