well, its too early to tell with my tune as off as it is.

a couple differences i have noticed are that when WOT in first gear the supercharger seemed faster. the boost came in steady and consistently. with the turbo lag in 1st gear i didnt really see that much boost when i simply floored it. it wasnt until i hit second that i saw the boost and it came in sooner and faster than with the supercharger. i guess i simply have to adjust my driving style to account for the spool up time

another weird thing is that im using the fuel map and timing from when it was supercharged. i had that map pretty close but with a turbo and approx the same boost it is pig rich from the get go. maybe it takes alot more fuel to spin the supercharger off the line than spool up a turbo??

so like i said. its early and my tune is way off. even the way it sits right now i love the turbo alot more than the SC. i love the turbo whine. i love the fact you cant even hear it when you roll up to a stop light. the car sounds like a stocker with performance mufflers. im pretty sure that my fuel economy will be alot better with the turbo...thats when i keep my foot out it of course .
when i pulled my supercharger i drove it around naturally aspirated. i think my gas mileage practically doubled just driving it around town. im assuming because there was no longer any parasitic drag from the supercharger. im hoping that i will get the same kind of mileage as i did when i was naturally aspirated with the turbo when im just out running errands.
