Just for ha ha that pic lol. Twin blower on a V8.... Ohhhh yea!!!
One thing that perhaps needs to be mentioned is the loss of power from a blower. Up to 20% taken from the engines crankshaft where turbo uses little or no engine power to run.
So the same boost level on each would deliver more through a turbo. Still i love blowers.
Also wastegates are an issue. Well here in Aus there illegal actually restricting the turbo greatly.
Not actually sure on the legal issues there but i do know if you have a wastegate that can be heard the cops will canary you for it.

Oh my god, i just peed a little. Just a little though. I think i always liked them because i worked so hard to get mine, and they are just so so easy to get stupid amounts of horsepower out of.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
