My choice of word was unpredictable, not uncontrollable. Important distinction; don't put words in my mouth. If it was completely predictable, I'd have no issues with it. I know exactly how the throttle will respond, every time, with a NA/SC car. |

I second that motion. When you know your car, when it boosts, how it boosts and how to shift and maintain your RPM goldilocks zone, then it's not very tricky at all in a turbo car. But I've never driven a SC car to compare - from that standpoint the SC may be easier or faster to learn how to control than a turbo. |
Not sure why you'd be considering the most painfully obvious example of shifting 2nd-3rd WOT mid corner unless you wanted to destabilize the car regardless of induction type. I find the throttle response above 3000rpm quite predictable and controllable with my Greddy T518Z kit and accurate throttle control.
