Sorry its probably a noob question but whatever. I kinda grew up on Turbocharged and N/A Hondas so this is new to me. I know how superchargers work but i saw this term and didnt know what it meant.


So whats a Twin Screw Supercharger?:confused:

The way I see it is in the twin screw setup, the air is always being compressed and forced in and the air can't "escape" backwards like it can on the other types so you get boost from much lower on. That would be nice in that you wouldn't have to wind it out so much for the power. Not so good if your wife is driving the car though... in that case the centri type is better because below 3000 RPM there is no boost and that's probably where she's shifting at usually.

TS is a positive displacement s/c hense the boost at low rpm
