Default Turbocharger vs Supercharger

What is "better." I understand the mechanical differences, but in the big picture, which is so called better. Disregard price differences.

It comes down to application and what your personal prefernce is in some cases. All the systems have advantages and disadvantages, so it's not a matter of which is best, so much as which is best for you based on a whole series of variables

Basically, what do you want to do with the car, like what will it be used for? What's your budget, how much power are you looking for, do you like the sound of turbos or the sound of positive discplacement etc etc

Oh damn! What the hell have you been putting together down in RI? I never figured you for a Zex guy though. I like Zex, but I had you pegged for an NX guy.
