Ever hear the sound of a Turbo Buick when it's revved up high and then let off? No psh, just spool. I'll try and find the video so you all can experience this orgasmic sound.
its how the car came stock....

i would never get rid of the psh sound, bov's sound amazing. the whine is cool too especially when its along w/ the roar of a v8 engine. not too much like it. as for the original q, supercharge or tt, i'd say tt cause you don't have to worry about turbo lag because of the torque z's make and turbos don't take any power from the engines to make power like superchargers do.

not to mention if you dont run a bov on a custom turbo system you're going to run the risk of busting the turbocharger.

turbos do have some parasitic loss, also the new superchargers have no lag either.The real answer is whichever you prefer, there are guys who make a living racing running both and in headsup races it's pretty balanced usually
