Supercharger is back in again, pushing a whopping 2-3 ps!
I couldnt live without boost. However, having only 2-3 psi is barely tolorable. The supercharger saps power right off the bat in low rpms. Over 4000 it feels good, but I need to reconfigure the setup to get 5 psi, no more, no less, until I either get the turbo block re-assembled, or get the Perfect Power.

The setup is the safe setup. Normal setup is capable of 7 psi intercooled, 12 psi non. All breaks pistons.

WHich part? haha, or am I all sad?
I have been doing some non-scientific testing though. And even though it "seems" slow the boost definately increases the power. Lets say I am in third gear and 2000 rpm. Without the 2-3 psi of boost, it takes 5 seconds to get to 4k. With boost it takes 3.5 seconds. These numbers are not what it actually takes, but you get the idea. So while still slow, it is a major increase. The feeling of the slowness is because the power increase is so linear you really cant feel it, but it is most definately there.
