HELLION TURBO
New Member
We get a fair number of questions asking to compare our 2011-2014 GT/Boss twin turbo kit vs. a Paxton centrifugal supercharger kit.
The main difference is the higher efficiency of a turbo vs. a belt driven supercharger. As shown in the attached dyno graph, the turbo, at a lower boost level, makes more peak power and, more importantly, more average power.
(The Paxton GT in this graph is equipped with long tube headers, off-road x pipe, straight through mufflers, Boss intake, and JLT cold air intake--a max effort supercharged combination with street tune---The Hellion Twin Turbo car used is equipped with a 3 inch off road Bassani exhaust with street tune)
Less boost means less load on the engine. Not only that, with a turbo, fuel efficiency is increased when not in boost. On the other hand, with a supercharger, the engine is driving a belt even when cruising--wasting power and decreasing fuel efficiency.
