    Turbo is more efficient use of the motor and in my opinion is the way to go...especially on smaller motors.

    There are a few different types of Super Chargers (SC's). It all depends on what you want. Do you autox or drag is it for DD or track take those into account. Turbo's for the most part will add much more TQ than a SC and most people go for that. A turbo seems to cost more than a SC as well. A good turbo setup will make more power over a SC at the the same PSI. I can't say one is better than the other or more reliable both have pros and cons. I personally am saving up for a rotrex sc to go on my Si. The rotrex is like the best of both worlds it works like a turbo but, is belt drive like a SC.

    Turbo = More $$, More Tq, More Power (dep on size), More Heat, Harder to upgrade (dep on kit), Harder to Install (better for drag imo)

    SC = Less $$, Less TQ, Less Heat, Easy to upgrade (pulley), Easy to Maintain, Easy to Install (better for autox imo)
