I don't see anyone making any remarks regarding the difficulty of upgrading/fitting their engine with a turbo or super charger.
Surely there will bea difference? E.g. with a turbo you need blow off and/or bypass valves for during shifting to prevent pressure spikes. From what I understood you won't have have this problem with a super charger as it delivers the amount of pressure you need depending on the RPM of the engine (assuming you don't keep your foot on the accelerator during shifting that is). This means you only need a boost pressure regulator and set it up once.
It means you can leave your exhaust system intact (though you probably still need to get an intercooler and ensure suffiecient fuel flow).
With a turbo you will need a new exhaust system, new intake system, boost control, bypass/dump valves, fuel controllers, engine controllers, and a whole lot of time and patience to set it all up.

lol slow down man ur getting over worked on this.......its not as you say...a turbo is not as hard and difficult as you make it out to be......you dont need a new intake system....you dont need boost control..altho its good to have and EASY to get....you dont need fuel controllers......getting a blow off valve is a simple deal.....engin controllers? you mean ecu?.....and depending on how much you plan to boost you dont need to upgrade injectors and fuel rail and fuel pump........you can easly get a bolt on and your good to go, give or take....iv never seen a supercharger installed that was eareir then a turbo
