Turbo VS Supercharger! Which one is right for you? C8 Corvette shootout at BoostDistrict

[@itsjusta6official]

I love this!! Which should we do on our C8 project? 👀

[@boostdistrict]

Whatever it is.. let's do something WILD 😜

Mooofffooooo twin turbo duhhhhhhhhhhhh

Supercharger my boy

[@tombrown9246]

Single turbo

[@TheGodofZilla]

Don't care how good turbos are the sound of that supercharger is one of the sexiest sounds in the world.

[@HB-gj5bd]

Slower on the big end for sure

[@greebuh]

That's funny, I think a turbo sounds way better than the sound of a bad power steering pump.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I like them both, no need to hate on one over another.

[@dnbaddict]

If I were itsjusta6 I would go supercharged! It’s very hard to beat it’s reliability. I love it on my C7 😎

[@hectormadrigal7177]

Exhaust pop with the supercharger 😍

[@trip4life32]

That's because the supercharged car has a cat back exhaust, and the turbo had mufflers still. A stock non-z51 stingray with a cat back exhaust does the same thing lol. It's glorious.

I have had both setups personally the turbo is better no belt issues better on gas more power less boost can change my boost level with just a turn of knob

I would have liked to see a dyno overlay for comparison but otherwise great videos. I'll be seeing you guys soon!

[@boostdistrict]

yes we definitely should've overlaid. i`ll touch on that next video!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Awesome video, man. Keep killing it!!

[@boostdistrict]

we appreciate the support!

[@PatriciaRay-y8o]

I love the Supercharger. I have one car with Supercharger and one with Turbo. Love the supercharger responsiveness.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Post a video showing your awesome cars.

[@erickurtz5380]

Great Video, love you clear explanation of both setups. That sound of the downshift rumble on the super charger is killer!

[@ChandlerLofton]

I remember coming across your website when you were first jumping off. Y’all have came a long way! Kicking ass!

[@boostdistrict]

Thank you 😊

[@AubreyDunbarsc]

Im a fan of the supercharged setup. The wheels, kit, exhaust, and the sound. I need a black clone.

[@markgomez-vd2dv]

supercharger! Instant power and unbeatable sound.

[@greebuh]

They sound like a bad power steering pump. Prove me wrong.

[@amiller2121]

That's not entirely correct. Centrifugal superchargers don't give you instant power...the boost builds with RPM. Depending on the setup/tune, a turbo can give you plenty of instant power. 20:50

[@TradnDayz]

Great work guys! I love the supercharger version. I live in NC but I’ll be headed to Texas when my warranty is up!

[@hectorsandoval7971]

Love watching your videos and your work, why not show some 60-130 mph times? Horsepower numbers are great, your 1/4 videos with times are great but 60-130 is the new standard and it gives us what a lot of us are doing. Keep doing great things and respect the hustle 😎💪

[@APATHTC]

I agree. That's a lot of value for the money. I would say turbo because it's easier to grow if you want to go faster, in the future...Which most do.

[@royrauch9775]

Reserve decision for a quarter mile time on both! A 0-60 would also be appreciated!

[@MovieMuscle]

Nobody seems to ever post real world numbers. I’d like to see 1/4, 0-60, and draggy times.

[@rod3134]

I like the looks of the supercharged one much better. (CLEANER) I honestly think I would prefer the supercharged one for the low maintenance and daily drivability. I really like the AEROLARRI wheels❤ 🔥...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@brandong7343]

Good video. For a future video, it would be awesome to see some performance data (0-60, quarter mile); also line them both up and do a race from dig and from roll. Adding a 3rd car with all motor (heads, cam, exhaust, etc) would be cool too. At your 9min mark doing turbo pull in Mexico, was it just me or did the car seem like it was missing as it shifted into the next gear going to redline?

[@troydgallatin7600]

I really love them both, but since I need to select one, for a daily drive I would favor the super charger, because of the sound, driving is all about sound and fill to me, it’s communicating everything it’s doing and about to do!!! You guys keep doing your yall thing, hopefully I will be seeing BD soon.

[@M8trixmedia]

Both of these set ups are so great. I’d have to grab that supercharger set up in matching green for sure ✅

[@greggmanning9689]

Supercharger love the low end torque. I have a 2650 on my C7 and it’s amazing. 829 RW hp. I see a C8 in my future

[@yimpyoi9808]

stingray and eray have the lt2 with a traditional pushrod v8 setup for gm, which lends itself better to supercharging. z06 revs high and fast which is better for spooling turbos quickly and making more top end power and low end torque.

[@ChuckMount-x7h]

Great video - it’s obvious that you care 😊

[@Coches]

You guys are killing it!

[@IILebotII]

Does the supercharger build have a burble tune or is it just the AWE exhaust? Cause those crackles are insane 🔥.

[@Streetmoneyten_]

Detailed and good delivery🔥

[@boostedgen4]

Great content, love it!

[@kingrabbit101]

You should of overlayed the dyno charts over eachother to see the difference in where the power hits and comes in

[@McIntosh1006]

Very cool setups on both cars. Do you offer a warranty on the car or just the engine, since doing either supercharger or turbo will void factory warranty on engine and drivetrain? Are you using HP Tuners to unlock ECU for engine tuning? Why so much white smoak from exhaust while on dyno? Is that oil blow-by? Supercharged car had more white smoak than turbo, why? Have you broken the code to unlock the ECM to tune transmission as well? To add pressure to clutch engagement and adjust shift times?

[@locochon9566]

This class was better than my certification class today for ford 🔥😎 keep it up bd killing the game

[@boostdistrict]

😆 atleast you learned something new today

[@IFBBPRO917]

Great video! Are you able to do a video about your stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 supercharger and twin turbo packages? I already have a FBO/Heads/CAM/E85 C8 stingray and leaning towards the supercharger, but still want more details on your different packages.

[@waynemiddleton6917]

What I want to know is which is the better one for drag racing 1/4 mile?

[@richarda3989]

Have you guys done a decibel test on the tt kit? It's hard to tell exactly how loud/quiet it is on the videos online.

[@cbttrainee5961]

🤔Hmmmm. Really can't lose either way. Both are bad ass 😍. Good job 👍🏿

[@HTX_ROME]

Yes and because yes.

[@zmanmd1641]

Twin Turbo will make more power to the wheels at the same boost level. Easy choice.

[@neo4102]

20+k for a supercharger installed is steeeeppppp - the turbo I can understand that price makes sense

[@thomasjollon3483]

Wow hard choice both awsome

[@ToddMorrow-k3k]

I like the turbo setup a little more. It sounds nice and refined, until you get on it. It’s like a Mister Jeckle and Hyde.

[@kevintownsend3840]

I have a Magnuson supercharger on my 2018 Caddilac CTS V and I'll go with that over the twin turbos any day.

[@jason-123]

Twin Turbo. Easier to make more boost. The blowoff valve is sick 😁.

[@jowga]

I love this!!

[@jamesstarling7273]

Just curious as to why both blow smoke when you start putting all the load on them????

[@envywhyenvy]

The supercharger is the one I like the most for the instant on tap power.

[@g4do]

I love twin charging. That's turbo and supercharged at the same time , like Volvo does their small displacement engines. Or hybrid turbo setups that precharge the turbo with electric motors.

[@tannercc]

The real question is, how do you get a standard c8 to sound like a z06? Those Z06's are 🔥

[@Mistborn94]

Love that yellow stripe around the bottom of the blue vette. I might need to do that on mine. Anybody know how they did it?

[@blue597]

Had both on many cars I owned. I definitely prefer the twins anyway

[@cthomas427]

I myself is a turbo guy 90% of the LS cars I've owned was turbocharged. But I would love to see a overlay of the dyno and how much boost each system was making and then do a boost for boost test...

[@boostdistrict]

We definitely missed the overlay part of the video. Will touch on it on the next one

[@anthonysebak8273]

TURBO!!!! My car has twin turbo that rides like a dream. 2016 Mercedes AMG GTs twin turbo down pipe and tuned 650 hp The car I didn’t like was my 2015 Z06 corvette the supercharger comes on to quick unpredictable!!! I would have to get the turbo.

[@kcaviator1]

Do you think a twin turbo is better for the Eray since it already has a lot of low end torque?

[@boostdistrict]

That's the reason why we did a twin turbo on our eray, but both will work really well still

[@ramonvargas8553]

‼️I go with supercharger ‼️more reliable

[@S58PSHIFTING]

For take off supercharger for a roll race and on after take off of course turbos baby boy.

[@rtm50media74]

Whats hp range on twin turbo at 12 psi as well as what supercharger power with next pulley

[@davidgrig2129]

Do you use hp tuners for the ecu

[@HeavyDrop_]

I live at 7,000' Elevation. 9,000'+ Air Density Altitude Days are not uncommon in the Summer. This means about a 25%-30% power loss just due to the elevation and environmental conditions. Either Turbos or a Roots Supercharger at these boost levels are basically just going to get me back to OEM HP. For the way I intend to drive the Magnuson is the way to go. I don't want to get nuts, I'm good with a GT/Power Cruiser that I handles very well. I'm not looking to live on the redline or Race/Track it... well maybe once or twice, but not regularly.

[@timsmith3969]

compared everything unimportant. How about taking them to the track? Performance is the most important comparison by far!!

[@DropTopJordan]

Neither I can’t afford either one. $30k is crazy when u can just get a Z06 C8 which is just as fast N/A and sounds like an absolute animal

[@richarddps19]

You do know regular c8 go for 60-70k and Z06 go for 150-170k

[@Lagann0]

@Preppyabababa @thekiddjordann The TT kit is like $21,000 and the magnuson is like $25,000. You could even go cam + flex fuel for around $15,000 and get similar HP (if you have FBO also).

[@finwaydiddy1977]

Can the turbo package have a valve system on the exhaust? Worried about drone. From the video it seems like there is no drone. Thanks

[@boostdistrict]

Zero drone on the turbos. Watch out for the next video

[@bigwheelz-audioaccessories9139]

Would The Twin Turbos Make The Same Sound w/ The Add Exhaust? Those Crackles & Pops Are Sound I Like

[@michaellowery928]

I have always been a supercharger fan because of simplicity for streetcar not shooting for the moon. Have you done an Eray with supercharger?

[@boostdistrict]

We have one eray client most likely doing it. It's basically the same as the stingray, which we've done tons off. We'd like to do one inhouse and do a video on and show the data

[@hooyabaaa2]

I would love to see an agressive supercharger build to this car. I mean... I know about the 9,97 record pass, but maybe Magnuson isnt THE supercharger to do the job. It´s a shame that Corvettes cant use a Whipple... There are a lot of Mustangs with those 3.0 or even the 3.8L units in the 8´s.

[@SteveButler-v5x]

I like the super charge

[@JamesSalomon947]

Why not top mounted turbo instead of undermounted? Also what exhaust do you recommend for 2021 C8 Z51 which gives it that deep tone? I'm looking to add more power eventually

[@boostdistrict]

top mount creates a ton more heat in the engine bay. this car is built perfectly to have them mounted low. We have another BD1000 car here with no mufflers that is much deeper in sound - and also another one with a Z06 style center exit

[@Med-PedsHospitalistofMissouriM]

What package do you recommend to go with if you already have heads and cam done, what other mods would need to be done to support the power? What size wheel and tire are those Aerolarri Fusions?

[@boostdistrict]

Really depends on the goals with the car. If it's a street car 750hp, supercharger. If you're planning for more power down the road, turbo Send us an email at [e-mail] and our sales team can get you scheduled and get your transport coordinated too

[@boostdistrict]

we have a video coming for that :)! About 30k

[@SoFloDamien]

Supercharged cars for the street can’t be beat due to the absence of turbo lag. Two types of superchargers are the positive displacement ones and the centrifugal ones. Positive ones hit super hard down low and r tough to beat. Centrifugal blowers spool up like a turbo but driven off the crank and have a wild midrange and highend rush. I have a Procharger a94 head unit and a meth flex fuel setup that makes 1251.9rwhp. It’s insane where it matters…medium and high speed driving. If your just driving around on surface streets and a little highway use then the positive displacement rocks

[@JeremyMoritz03]

Are either options available with the HTC?
