turbo is the better route. They are far more tuner friendly... You can get a electronic boost controller, and make your car run virtually stock, or crazy 'engine blowingly' fast.

A super charger will also cost you farmore than a turbo because it's really not That hard to turbo a car if you know what you're doing. A supercharger however is another world.

I have to dissagree, I feel that a SC is actually the beter route for those of us who drive our cars everyday. For example you drive a honda you want to get real power out of it, both are available, the SC provides instant boost with little maintance, where the Turbo has to spool up and also has to be rebuilt. Since we have to go the custom route with our engines turbo is easier. If you are looking to go for an all out drag racing car then a turbo has more potential. I must say though every car Ive ever driven with a SC was incredible. (G60, H22, MR2)
