Go behind the wheel, under the hood, and beyond with Car Stuff from www.HowStuffWorks.com.

Ben

Hello everybody, thanks for tuning in. Welcome to – Don’t call it a comeback, but were changing the name to Car Stuff, right Scott?

Scott: The first official Car Stuff podcast.

Ben

Whoa, that’s us. Okay, and don’t worry. We haven’t changed too much. My name is still Ben Bowlin, and this week I am in charge of metric conversions, which we are not doing on this podcast, just around the office.

Scott

Very good, very good. My name is Scott Benjamin, and I am the Auto Editor here at www.HowStuffWorks.com. Today we have an interesting topic. I think a lot of people have some curiosity about this.

Ben

Yeah, and not just people in the wide world of the internet, but we have a couple of enthusiasts here in the office, and they would probably – actually one of our guys I think asked me about this a couple months back.

Scott

Oh, no kidding? Okay, well hopefully we can get an answer for him today.

Ben

Now what question are we trying to answer?

Scott

Turbo versus supercharger, which is better, what are the benefits of each one, what’s the difference between each one really is the main concern because what does each one do, and how do they differ. That’s really it.

Ben

And you know, we should let you guys know getting into it that you’re not gonna get a definitive answer from either Scott or myself.

Scott

Man, that’s fair to say because I mean you can’t say what is gonna work best in every situation. Everybody is gonna have their own favorite, and as you hear – you know, as we get down to the advantages, disadvantages, those play better for one person versus another one, depending on what type of vehicle you are using, what you’re using it for, the intended purpose, so you’ll find out which one is best for you.

Ben

Oh, and before we get into the shocks and jolts, and the nuts and bolts, Scott, I have to tell you – our buddy Tyler in the production department, came up with a pretty good nickname for you -

Scott

For me?

Ben

Scott, the tiger, Benjamin.

Scott

The tiger.

Ben

Actually he didn’t do it on purpose. He used the word tiger earlier today, but that would be cool. How do you feel about that?

Scott

Scott, the tiger, or Scott tiger?
