i think i need to build a mild xe on tb's at some point and put it into something. used to have an xe nova on carbs years ago. really miss that sound. turbo and dump valves arent my thing. like the power, but the noises arent as raw.

good point. that supercharged v8 tvr at the rolling road sounded like war. although the whine would annoy me at times i bet.

T40's are better than both.

But out of the 2 it would be bodies.

I knew I could rely on you to bring Snakebite into it

I prefer the sound of TB's to the Turbocharger spooling, but both together is quite pleasureable.
