Has this ever been done on the yb,I've seen a few zetecs with the conversion,how good are they compared to turbo's ?

 

Been done before, how good depends on what you want, they can certainly be lag free, but the modern GT series BB turbo's take a lot of beating, and you don't suffer parasitic losses with a turbo using waste energy unlike a crank driven supercharger.

Tabetha who has done it before ?

Matt, my old man tried it years back but couldn't get a big enough supercharger in the yb engine bay to warrant doing it

Would have worked well though !

I suppose its down to development at the money at the end of the day,it could work well !

 

I know I've defo known of it on one, apart from the one I've seen myself, possibly at emerald, I'll ask this week if they remember as their memory is better than mine.
Thinking about it it may have been a PPC article, so I'll email will holman(ed) to see if he can remember.
