I say supercharger. A lot easier to tune, install, and more often then not, more reliable.

With all due respect, turbos are infinitely better than a supercharger.
I've got a research paper (it's REALLY long) I worked on with a buddy in mechanic's school to illustrate the differences if you're interested.

I would love to see it.

However I do know that in various situations, a turbo will out perform a SC. My statement was directed at the fact that tuning a turbo is more difficult then a SC.

Ill shoot you a pm and get you to email me your paper

Ok gentlemen here is my take on it just thought of course. So a turbo has more boost ability where as a supercharger is limited to the size of the pulley but let's think about this a turbo you have to have the exhaust manifold for the turbo run the tubing oh and let's not forget tap the oil pan and of course the charge air is going to be hotter due to the fact that it is powered by exhaust gases. Now a supercharger, especially the new vortech, is self lubricated you can mount an intercooler or you don't even have to because it is just pulling ambient air and its electronically controlled or on the older ones you swap pulleys and the best part is you get the power all the way through the power ban I would go supercharger route less you have to worry about
