No because I know how hungry boosted vehicles are. Granted it may be different on water. That's a whole different animal, tune, and drag, so I may be wrong, but with a vehicle, if you are into the boost, you are using up a lot of fuel. Keep in mind you are forcing air in and compressing it where as the NA can only suck air in. The more air you have, the more fuel you need, so the blower is always going to need more fuel and a lot more.

It all depends on the tune and the components, but it will still take more fuel than a NA engine.

Personally, I'd sell the blower and keep it NA and maybe do some head and intake work. You can make the same amount of power and use less fuel, less pressure and strain on everything, etc. . . That is seriously the opposite of what I expected you to say. Also curious on the use less fuel, more power allows the same speed at a lower rpm (I get to change gearing, err props) which even with the parasitic load of the charger I would expect better fuel consumption. I do have funny goals here compared to a car. I need more power to turn a tall gear and still get on plane. Once on plane I don't really need the power and will let the engine run relaxed unless I am an idiot and seriously burning fuel (ie top speed) in which case it will definitely suck significantly more gas. Analogy of adding an overdrive at the driveshaft/putting a tall gear in to achieve a better highway cruise but building up your power so that you can still accelerate equally. I am just reverting back to my blower and turbo car experience. You always use more fuel with the cylinders pressurized. You have to. I know it may not be a concern to you, and might be the easy way with the blower, but I think for reliability's sake and savings, keeping it atmospheric will be best. You're going to be dealing with a cooler/denser air charge as well, so that will only help.

As opposed to the others. . .

I'm gonna move the hills of WV and make some moonshine with the Appalachian hillbillies.

I have no idea what any of it is. I don't care either. I am on the verge of disconnecting and going back to simpler times.

Yeah, that's not what he has; it's a newer model. My bad. This was the 98-02 version. His is a 99, but they had nowhere near 500bhp. Maybe 350-400. Euro models may have been different. Well Jeremy Clarkson is full of shit I guess, lol. Series 1 so the show aired in 02. He was comparing it to the Audi RS6 which develops (according to him) 400hp. It was the 98-02 version in the show as well. Regardless, its a cool car I'm sure their version is upgraded in comparison to the US version.

But I don't use milk, so they're not really milkshakes.

My milkshakes bring all the gas out your ass.

Shit, maybe I should read all the replies before replying.

I want a fucking Lacopos Pizza or at least some good lasagna, and a FUCKING OREO! This sucks.

I moved this to his section to go along with all the other bad deals with him. I suggest contacting the authorities as it appears that is the only way you guys are going to get anything.

What's up with bitches piercing their cheeks?

That's Sean's cock rack.

So now you drag both your cock and balls when walking.

Fuck that; that truck, err car, err SUV, whatever the fuck it is, is fucking sweet just like that!

Oh, young grasshopper you are confused. The noise on Euro diesels is not any different than the gas. In fact some gas engines are louder and crappier sounding. As for power delivery I am astonished you'd bring that up as a weakness being it is the strength of a diesel. Torque >>> HP always. I know some Formula 1 and NHRA engineers that will strongly disagree with you. So I left off in the street. WTF? You don't drive your F1 car on the street? I can't be the only one. That would suck on the street.

I take it you've never heard a flathead with zoomies?

Hold your finger on it and it will magnify the text and give you options.

Diesels don't have a big rpm range like gas engines, so you can't say that because it ran out of juice at 4k, 4k is probably near red line lol. Our diesel pick up would fucking haul at 1500, 2000rpm. I would think all diesel vehicles are designed to deal with the additional weight, I don't see how they couldn't be... You are jaded by the your diesel truck experience. Not all diesels are designed to pull stumps. Hell the Audi R10s rev up to 7K. Granted, by design they will always make more torque than HP, peaks that is, but the direct injection gasoline engines are beginning to pick up steam and reaping some of the benefits of the diesel design. The one's I've heard have also been noisier than the European diesels.

That's great!
