RE: supercharger vs. turbo
Well... In supercharging you have too many options from too many brands. centifugal or twin screw? paxton, vortech, whipple, kenne bell, etc? A turbo will be more then a supercharger but will put out a ton more hp per lbs. of boost. It's also more efficent. But you will pay for it. Find out what you want and ask us if it's good or not. Theres just too many choices for us to say turbo or supercharger. Also what are you using this for?

RE: supercharger vs. turbo
thats kinda what i thought already, but having a hard time deciding. looking for hp and tq numbers, along with problems and average price. and the reason for it is the same as always, to be faster than the guy next to you.

RE: supercharger vs. turbo
if you want a turbo, make sure you beef up your entire car (bottom end, tranny, rear end), otherwise you'd be spending all that money for nothing. the most you can really run is like, what, 400RWHP, 420RWHP? somewhere in the 400s. both a turbo and a supercharger will get you there just fine. the supercharger will get you there a lot cheaper and a much easier install though.

RE: supercharger vs. turbo
A turbo charger your looking at about $7500 - $9000 installed(cant remember the price I was quoted), the hp trin turbo systems get about 450rwhp on stock internals, ( but like said before, the turbo will really shine with forged internals), here is there site http://turbochargedpower.com/
For a Pro Charger or another Centrifical supercharger your going to at about 4 grand installed.
For a twin screw like kenne belle, your going to look at 4800-5500 + install
