[QUOTE="Paul, post: 680056, member: 9404"] [b]Re: In Response to Javi's Post....[/b] Wow, lots of stupid blanket statements in this thread. Couple of thoughts from me, but I'm an idiot: 1. I'd never buy a blower or turbo if I didn't have a compressor map for it. 2. I searched and searched for a compressor for my 422. The Vortech T-Trim fit my needs precisely, and flowed very high volume with high adiabatic efficiency at low RPM. Other blowers and turbos weren't doing it for me. There is no "best" ever - people's combos and goals dictate the compressor that is required. 3. I don't know why one [i]brand[/i] of blower would require an intercooler, while another did not. It's more about the adiabatic efficiency of said compressor and the operating environment than it is about what label is on the outside. Boost is boost; the motor doesn't know any better. 4. Blowers are way easier to install than turbos. 5. Turbos sound neato. ...and finally. I like hamburgers. Paul. [/QUOTE]
