I've googled turbocharge vs supercharge, several in depth articles by performance engine builders who have experience with both. It's pretty unanimous across the board which is the better solution, and not really a close comparison when you weigh in all the factors. Many myths surrounding both also dispelled:
- Under hood heat
- Amount of mods to the existing motor configuration
- Net performance gains & when in the power band
- Steetability, wear & tear on the motor
- Cost in a true 'bang for the buck' assessment
- etc. etc. etc.
Really good reading, I recommend some of you here maybe do the same. Oh, there are some here (well one for sure) that already know the results of such an in-depth trade study, turbocharging is the far superior solution to boosting performance over supercharging. It's really no contest at all.
