I was simply going by what you said. You meantioned nothing about moleculles collieding, atoms splitting, or anything about compressing, cept cramming air into the intake. That left MUCH for interpretation, and so I said the literal of how it should've been said.
Im not trying to argue about it, just letting you see my point.
Back on topic: an intercooled turbo will make less heat then a non-AC supercharger... SO WHICH one is more compression friendly????
Turbo.
No one ever runs a turbo on a performance setup w/o an intercooler unless they have SOME way of controlling intake temps...
It is very common for S/C's not to have such methods...
Oh, and Keith's brother... I did mention "generally" they dont have means of cooling. In this descussion, there are no IC's on the superchargers... and YES this kids too cheap to buy one I assume.
