SUPERCHARGER OR TURBO? What I’ve Learned After Owning Both 

I prefer the blower for the simplicity, consistency and ease of installation. The turbo might make a little more power, but when both set ups are capable of splitting the stock block down the middle...does it really matter?

BREW2L: I think you’re the number 1 authority on the Foxbody game. Always doing real world work into these cars plus, a history from back in the day. This channel has come a long way! A definite inspiration to getting started, step by step bites towards getting a car done. (Although they’re never done haha)! Thanks for the content!

I'm old school. Centrifugal everytime! Plus you get the exhaust note as well. Also I love the typical centrifugal whistle. The main difference between both car are cubes! The green one has much higher torque capacity, plain and simple.

Calypso car looks killer with those SC wheels! The difference for me is I’m still stuck in the 90’s so if both cars were together with the hoods up I’d be more compelled to take a closer look at the retro Vortech/Hartman combo.

Loving the retro sound with that whistle! You need to race these 2 against each other. Would make for a great video!!!!

What a great explanation of the two cars. Those wheels look amazing on the green car and I bet they will look great on the retro as well.

This is hands down one of the most intelligent videos I have ever seen on the topic. Nice work.

This channel is becoming my favorite channel and that calypso had me hypnotized

Brew2L showin the luv for the GT's in a world of coupes these days. I think its great brother as I luv coupes but lately that's all everyone is building and I've always been a GT/Hatch guy at heart anyways. Keep it up man. The Calypso has come such a long way and has turned into a nasty lil monster. My ride is slowly getting to the point where I have to make a powertrain choice so its nice to see both sides of the fence. Thumbs up bro as always. Keep the good content comin.

Calypso looks killer with the 18” . Almost as good as it did with the SVE gold mesh 😁

New wheels looks sick! BREW2L you are killing it was this awesome content! 🔥👍👍🦊

Always good to see your little girl close out the video, so cute.What a great one , one a more quiet sleeper more so Calypso, and the Rowdy cam chopping RetroFox, both great choices.

YEAHHHHHH!!!! SKIN IT BACK!!! LOL!!! Glad you took the time to emphasize combination and making that your expectation of choice! I love both! But can't wait to see you line up with Andrew's ride!

Great stuff!! Thanks. The Red one Sounds amazing!! 🙂

Man... I am happy as hell to see someone worthy got the life I ordered. Love the collection. I have had "Stitch" my 89 LX Hatchback 5.0 for 23 years now, and seeing these fox's has my ass back out working on her. Thank you

Love the look of the Calypso with those wheels on it! I almost prefer those over the ‘93 Cobra wheels.

Good to see you brew! Lookin fresh with the new cut bro

awesome video. liked and subbed! One question just curious why you can't hear the whine of the supercharger on the red fox body?

Awesome vid, B! Thanks!

Great video brother, very informative!!

The sound of that turbo car when he gets on it. 😍 amazing!! Retro also great 2 but....dam!

God bless both those cars! I send you and your family all kinds of blessings.

I used to have a 89 lx hatch. Stock bottom, x303 cam, eldebrok al heads, Paxton Novi 2000 with cog pulley setup with 15 lbs if boost. It was so much fun

Very informative video Brew2l Really learned a lot and enjoyed this one , hope you’re doing well brother.

Hey man. I love your work. What part of Tennessee you located?

Dudes gotta fleet of cars and a nice garage. I’m happy for him. I want that too.

Great honest comparison between the two types of forced induction SBF’s 👍 I know you love that ol’ skool stuff man & you have a point with the stock lower being a restriction. That said, i’ve got a downs ford bread box intake (gt40) for sale, bet that would wake her up a bit!

Love the sound of the retro!

Great video again I was thinking the turbo would be quicker. Love that your daughter gave it a thought before she answered with green one.

It’s all your own preference and I get that, but I love those anniversary wheels on the Retro Fox. I know they’re not exactly fitting with the retro theme of the build, but it looks just perfect to my eyes.

Those are both beautiful fox bodys! Enjoyed the video!

Awesome video. Great usable information. Subscribed!

Calypso is my favorite. Then you put those wheels on it and i love it even more . Wow.

That shot frm behind. Two bada$$ finished foxbodys in the driveway, and 2 more Mustangs in the garage bout to be saved 👍 can't wait to see the finished product on the new projects.

Love the Calypso, but that retro fox is where it's at for me. Screams 90's and Is just awesome!🐺

You mentioned which one was more comfortable to drive. Not saying the seats are the end all reason but... Do you prefer the factory seats or the corbeau seats? I have to pull the trigger soon on some new seats or foam and covers. Thanks

I’m glad you did this video I’m doing a 347 build and I’m up in the air on super charger or turbo

Not sure if you discussed this in another vid but what suspension, braking, and body mods need to be made to be able to use/handle the extra power.

Love the cars. What rims do you have on the green car. I love them.

@16:57 I couldn't tell if that was a kiddo screaming or the turbo 😂. Both sound great my man!

Do you think you'd lose or gain on the Calypso if you were to remove the turbo and install the SC? Seems like higher displacement on more boost would be even more nutz than the current Calypso setup. I'm doing a very similar build to your Calypso so I'm very curious what your thoughts on this are. Thanks in advance if you're able to respond!

Nice!!! Calypso is that “Saturday night shooter”!! Retro is the “old man can get it on a Sunday”””.

Great video! We fans gotta start sharing tbis channel, I swear it has something to do with RU-vid why it's not multiplying. I have the bell on and still do not get notified. On the the foxes that drive better than another. Let me tell you my coupe with the tko 456 gear with a spool is painful to drive lol not painful obviously but it turns like a dump truck 🤣

Nice bro! I would love to see track time on both cars.

Love the wheels! Gotta keep the drag set up with ya tho. Cuz you know it's gonna be a brew2l and Jason battle at Ford take over. And we can't forget Dan with regular guy garage and his flyin 331

the pro charger guys, is more like a turbo that is centrifugal, it makes power in the top end because it it spools up the hard you turn the through outs like a clutch ,,a Whipple, for example, makes all its power in the bottom end because its direct drive and the speed is controlled by pully sizes, there a few trade-offs there but mostly space. a Whipple is a hood cowl no way around it. pro chargers are low-profile goodness, but they are gutless off the jump. compound them and then you get a tone of fun if you can get it out of the driveway. factors f'n factors. efi, mechanical fuel injectors, and throttle bodies., and a shit ton of tinkering the safe way to go about it is to yank the factory-cast cranks and replace them with forged ones. no matter the make if torque is you game longer throughs on the crank and each make has a different tolerance for that it requires a stouter longer con rod and job specific sleaves.meaning what they are made of, and the proper clearance .crucial to engine life. all power adders have a mileage rating depending on the application, know them, i commend the author of the video for encouraging you to get involved with go fast there is not enough of us in the hobby to sustain it, and for that, I love him, there is a lot of $$ involved and people give up on it quick if shit goes wrong, bobby and his Friday night hot rod is all but dead for many factors the biggest gov. over reach, but I for one will never surrender. you don't need a paperweight in the driveway with a tow sticker in the window, everything worthwhile deserves careful consideration if you're a poor boi better have a side hustle and a brain between your ears. have said the have the hell at it.,,, an after though you gotta gap the piston rings for boots and if I'm not mistaken it has to have a boots target

Those wheels look soooooo good on the calypso! Livin the dream man, turbo and supercharged foxes! Both are wicked.

Glad the last 5min talked about how powerful na motor should be with either one. Ty

Love the sound of that supercharger.

BREW2L brother i love your videos but i need your help what is the best cam for my 5.0 Foxbody it has an AOD in it

Great Vid bro, I like both ! 👍🏾

The calypso is looking fine with those wheels..I love them both..

What a video! Thanks

Love the wheels! What specs are they? Any rubbing? A link would be greatly appreciated.

Love the look of the SC wheels on the Calypso! Just sounds like you need some better tires out back. I would roast mine all the way through the top end of 3rd gear then switched to Toyo R888R’s and hook in 3rd pretty well - seconds still a battle, but my combo of twin turbo Dart 347 on 9 psi and 3.73 gears builds tons of torque.

Back in the good ole days when I owned a 08 Bullitt, She was cammed with Brenspeed Detroit Rockers, FRPP intake and TB, LTs, no cats and Borla Ataks. Sounded nasty, drove great and handles great as well. I also had our 93GT pretty stock except for basic bolt on, stock heads and block. I got asked ALL the time, which is more fun to drive. I would tell them, well it depends on the mood I'm in. If I wanted to have a more spirited (as you stated) drive, then the Bullitt. If I still wanted a low spirited drive but just simply roll with the cool factor then the Fox. I've always owned a Fox, but gotta admit, I surely miss my Bullitt. Was just an all around bad ass car. It's in Jacksonville Fl now and the owner said he grins everytime he cranks it.

Do you have to get a bigger LPH fuel pump for the supercharger? And how do you intercool it? Im looking at getting a e cam aluminum heads with a procharger on around 6-8 lbs of boost but i need to learn more before i go throw money away

I am looking into putting the On3 turbo kit on my stock 91 Fox. Was the purchase worth it? Is the turbo lag that considerable? How do I eliminate turbo lag? Do you have any advice

omgggg that Calypso Green is absolutely gorgeous

That calypso is beautiful but I’d love to had that retro , just because it’s very similar to the one that nearly killed me .

Bro got some beautiful foxbodys cool set ups great looking appearance

I bought a fox and it has a spacer plate that sits under the intake, its maybe an inch-1.5inchs. Makes the intake sit a little higher but pretty sure its causing small idle surges. I replaces the whole iac motor. Have you ever heard of such a spacer plate? Id like to replace with stock but im not so sure what im looking for part wise. Thanks fam in advance

I've got a question last year I had a fox with a stock block 302 with cobra r heads and intake S trim 10lb boost 5 speed B cam The problem I had that made me sell it was anything under 1200 rpm's it hated it so much so that it would surge really bad to the point I would have to push the clutch in and give it more gas to stop it my son had a fox with a B cam no boost did the exact same thing is it just the a cam thing I had the blower car Dyno tuned at XXX Motorsports in Pensacola it made 490 at the back tires but still had the hiccups below 1200

you can add a boost controller with software to ramp in boost by gear which makes it linear.

Well, both cars are really nice, but your daughter stole the show! She's about the same age as my daughter, just getting introduced to my Fox Mustangs. Keep up the good work.

Awsome breakdown

Have the same SC wheels on my 93 Reef blue GT. Just getting into the Fox scene. Had 2 SN95's. 1 GT and 1 Cobra. Both 5.0's. Loved them both but don't think I'll ever go back to 4th gen. Foxbody4Life. Subbed.

Killer look with those wheels, love that gunmetal with the polished lip anything on a fox tho

Calypso looks GREAT. What a fine looking stang. Wow.

Both cars are amazing I couldn't dream of something that seriously awesome. I just want a N/A v8 in my 87 lol 😆 small goals , love those 18s they look great 👍

Dang!!! The Sc wheels look amazing on the Calypsos

Thanks for the info. I have that same intake on my 89 as you have on the Red Stang and was wondering for years what it was called and what company made it.

I think as foxbody owners, we all can relate to that grin that was underneath your face of concentration of what the car is doing while you were doing those test runs. Can't help but be happy with our toys when they work like they're supposed to!!

Both are Badass and this Saleen wheels look awesome

Two awesome fun and unique foxes. Exciting to see what you do with the new fox. EcoBoost twin turbo 4 cylinder? hehe

With the 18 in rims and your car is lowered do you have any problems with tire rub while turning?

I need to make a trip to Alabama to see how my na 347 compares to the retro fox lol. Kidding. Hopefully we can get together at mustang week this year. I'd love to check the cars out.

Those wheels look sick on the calypso. 👍and to be honest im torn between which one i like more both incredible setups

Off topic question, how did the ecoboost do trailering the retro to Texas?

What transmission do you use in those fox bodies? I had three of those in the 90’s and I broke the second gear more than ones… 🤦🏻‍♂️

What's the tire set up on the Calypso?😮 18? I love it

I said the Calypso a month or so ago when you asked which one we thought was faster. I have a supercharged mustang and a turbo mustang and turbos are hard to beat. It pained me to say that because I've always been a supercharger fan. I love both those cars of yours but that Calypso is killer!

Wheels look amazing on thy calypso.. what wheels are they?

I still like the SVE series 3s or BBS or CCW ❤️. I currently have Convo Pros bigs and littles. They are 15s but look so good lol. I’m going with the 18x9 and 18x10 to fit the Cadillac ATS Brembo calipers. Going to get the gold bronze or whatever color they are.

What are the wheel dimensions and tire size on the new wheels the calypso has?

What headers are you using them foxbody I keep having cracking issues

Which one would you drive daily first if you had to and both had a hci and same bottom end?

Hey guys am from trinidad and own a foxbody recently i love the colour of the calypso do u all know the code or colour of the calypso fox

Rims looking fire man 🔥

Turbo technology has come so far that I’d prefer to go that way over SC but either will make me happy. Also, if I were going SC route I’d go with twin screw over centrifugal they have come a long way and are making great top end boost today. Back in early 90s when I built my 331ci motor I debated NA or boosted went NA and wish I went boosted, live and learn.

Them wheels on the calypso are fire, super sweet

Elderbrock 😄 Good video bro👍

Lol red ones Abit Squirtle! Makes me miss my 82 Capri RS old school V8 growl

I love both the cars, absolutely gorgoues cars ! Either car I would appreciate 💯 to choose I'm gonna have to go with the Calypso 👍

Both are beautiful mustangs with bad ass setups !!!

@BREW2L what trans are you running in each car?

Which one get better gas mileage? I have a 2018 Challenger r/t and I'm stumped on which boost set up I should get without getting 5 mpg as it is my daily

Beautiful stangs brother! love them!

Good comparison If I had my choice between cars I want both subscribed

Calypso looks perfect with those wheels & retro fox sounds so nasty… both fox’s are amazing!
