to turbo or not to turbo?
#31
Limit is more the bikes capability of handling boost than what the kit can produce , even the basic turbo kit to bolt on with no mods on a gen 2 is about 230-240hp ,
both can be turned up if you decompress and make the bike more suited to boost ,
supercharger just needs to step up the pulley ratio or turbo wastegate spring

hope i'm not sounding too negative on superchargers, i like the idea , and just before buying my gen 2 from Shredder i looked seriously at a B-King and fitting a supercharger , just they don't produce power quite like general expectation , i think thats a carryover from positive displacement superchargers on cars that do make positive pressure from idle ,
centrifigal superchargers need rpms to make positive pressure just like a turbo , but being engine driven it does begin earlier than the exhaust driven turbo

To be fair this was not the same dyno same day you need for a good comparison, but the basic shape is typical for both turbo and supercharger
my first turbo busa from 9 yr ago with gt28r turbo , bigger turbo would be a flatter curve , wobbly top end is wheelspin
and straight from tts , supercharger is a much more predictable slope and would be easier to ride hard , turbo takes some relearning
