Look at this 3L!

Variable vane turbos are not anything too new. However, they are seen mainly on diesel engines due to the lower EGTs that diesel engines produce. The higher temps from a gasoline engine don't mix well with the current VNT turbos.


This is untrue. The blow off valve only operates during a rapid closing of the throttle and is used to prevent compressor surge which can actually break your turbo. I'm going to guess that you're mixing up a BOV and wastegate. A wastegate works by diverting exhaust gas around the turbine when a set manifold pressure is reached. The only thing that would cause a turbo to "throw away compressed air" in a detrimental way to the engine would be a boost leak at a coupler or something.


Superchargers have ZERO lag. They are positive displacement, so for every rotation of the crank, they output a fixed volume. There is no way this will result in delayed boost threshold.

Depends on the supercharger. If you have a positive displacement supercharger( roots type ) there is no lag. but if you have a centrifugal supercharger there will be some lag as they are pretty much a belt driven turbo. However turbos are more efficient as they use wasted heat energy to give the engine more power. But in my opinion blowers look and sound cooler.
