80% of the exhaust flow is free energy
only 20% of the exhaust is pumped out
and Turbo's use this free engery on
SAABs.
A Supercharger is crank driven thus
it eats up some power right there
then it has a fixed velocity ratio
thus unless it is multistage it
reacts to pressure loss due to
altitude the same way as a normal
ATMO car would.
For Mercedes it is a tradition...
but technically except for the
immediate response it has only
disadvantages compared to a Turbocharger.
Mercedes thinks that Kompressor sounds COOL
maybe it does... but its obsolete.
Regards,
Coolknight
