That was cold!!!Plain and simple turbo or supercharger?!

Alright I'll try this again yes it's been discussed yes it is a preference and I looked for a while couldn't find it so I figured why not make a thread a simple thread with the cons and pros of the turbo and supercharger and there limits I can take a v8 apart with my eyes closed but rotary is a whole new monster to me so
- rotary is sensitive to detonation
- rotary already runs a higher compression
- difficult to ad any horsepower gain with conventional upgrades as opposed the the fact a v8 or any piston motor could easily gain 20-40 horse to the wheels on a cold air intake or an exhaust or pulleys yet rotary gains 1-2 horse alright I figured hey this would be good to have an easily accessible thread for newer guys to the rotary we all know forced induction is the best and pretty much only real way to gain horse power
So why the he'll shoul
Dnt there be a logical discussion about the numbers and solely the numbers my questions were simple and reasonable so if we are so sensitive to detonation what is the max psi anyone's done on a turbo with these? Are the superchargers a lower psi booster then the turbos like on conventional blowers? Come on I thought this was reasonable no reason for people to get pissed cuz there lazy I never did **** to this of you who don't know **** bout a v8 a camshaft or domed pistons what a stroke is on your crankshaft or any of that so seriously let's discuss this plain and simple what seems to be better not just for price not just for power but a real comparison there are a lot of details to this topic so why the **** not discuss it so it's accessible to everyone more easily

its not simple dude.
every FI build on this car is custom. The owner has to decide for themselves what they want.
Basic engine principle still apply to this engine. I played with big blocks for a long time.
This one is no difference in the basics. Air in--Air out

Ya dude
And it might be easier to find such things if people didn't title there threads so poorly.
How are we to take a thread with such a crazy title seriously?
How is that title really even going to help people searching?

Here is a good place for you to start
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/power-adders-fi-dummies-turbo-supercharger-nitrous-122645/

Then type this in to the google search field without the quotes
"site:rx8club.com turbo vs supercharger"

This has been discussed (and decided) many times, you're just too lazy to read the discussions.

So we won't be starting yet another thread, just for you.

Don't open another.....
