Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Turbo vs supercharger on an ND—how do they drive?

Centrifugal/roots superchargers give linear, immediate torque; turbos offer bigger headroom and adjustability. Both need fuel, cooling, and conservative tuning on stock internals.

How do I keep response sharp with a bigger turbo/supercharger?

Use efficient intercooling, short/tight piping, and quality bearing/rotor tech. A well‑mapped boost control strategy preserves midrange without surge.

Do I need a stronger clutch/LSD for FI?

Higher torque warrants an upgraded clutch and a healthy LSD. Monitor gearbox/diff temps and shorten service intervals for regular track use.
