    I got nothing against superchargers bcuz they have there advantages. But, imho, the big advantage of a turbo is the upgradability of more aspects of the setup.

    I know on some small airplanes there are 4cyc motos that have both. Sounds like a neat idea, best of both worlds.

    turbos have more "play" in them. You can play with the boost while driving, turn it down for DD, less stress for the motor to turn.

    i am running an S/C and at 13psi i was making like 40-50hp less than the turbo guys at the same PSI. so...a turbo is a way better choice.

    this debate is pointless - in the end it depends on how you are using the car.

    Turbo ftw, Lag is your split secound to get ready, or for your car to look for traction. So lag in a sense is your friend, except ch@dbee. Turbo AWD FTW!

    sc for road racing and drivability, turbo for drag and high torque/hp. sc is def. more rare and unique and sc has the sleeper effect.
