Supercharger not a Turbo

[kinneyt]

I am not asking if a Supercharger is better than a Turbo.

Who is running a Supercharger? What type of riding do you do? How do you like it? What brand?

Thanks

Good luck with an answer, IMO depends on how and where you ride. The Guys that are in the Deepest and Steepest will most likely point you towards Turbo"s. Boondock'in and in the trees, my vote would be Super-Charger. I don't have either, so I'm interested to see the responses again. Do a search, this subject has been discussed a bunch.

As far as I know Mountain Performance Inc. (MPI) is the only super out there. Also available through ulmerracing.com

an a couple others offer resale of MPI's but right now they are the only Super...but there are some great solutions for mid mount turbos...mids, have NO perceptable lag...

but you dont want those, you want super...so you are left with one company, that has had a spotty at best reputation...

As far as I know, their reputation has only been spotty with the Nytro.

That being said, they have really stepped up recently with their customer service. Skyler at MPI seems to be an impeccable rep for their company.

I don't see a Super for the Nytro on that site.

I addition, the centrifugal Super like MPI is much more effecient than a twin screw...

Cody @ Outlaw Motor Sports in Oregon is running a stage 3 on his Nitro and haveing ridden it last weekend I can tell ya that thing rips! I think they are going for 20+ lbs boost and had to get Mac to build another pully for him. I'm sure you will see it showing up in the videos later.
