Nothing beats the sound of a turbo bar a 3.2 V6 from an R32 Golf.

Just the same - apart from having an inlet with one throttle body connected to the SC you have an inlet with 4 throttle bodies connected to the SC (on a 4 cylinder engine) Similar to how the Pulsar GTI-R has throttle bodies and a turbo.

It's being built as we speak, 2.5 litre 4 cylinder Fiesta ST150 with TBs and a slightly large Rotrex supercharger. It made 300bhp without the charger....

It's a 2.3 Duratec engine with a long stroke crankshaft, steel rods and forged pistons, CNC ported head with big valves, 52mm Jenvey throttle bodies, custom cams etc...

The 2.3 block is from an American car, we only used the block, everything else is uprated.

Don't want much do you

I can't decide, Jamesvalver's Corsa sounded amazing at PVS with throttle bodies, my mates LET Corsa sounds amazing, turbo whistle is soo loud but he doesn't know why must admit I prefered it before he put a dump valve on but it still sounds good and not had much experience of superchargers so couldn't really say on that one
