Stop being difficult. All he said was "better" is subjective, and the obvious reasoning is that there are different criteria in which each method is better. And yes you can't directly compare because they have different attributes, each of which has a pretty clear winner.

I use my FR-S as a daily driver. I'm looking for a little more power. What is important is reliability with no engine issues. I'm not looking for huge HP. Somewhere between 250-300. Again ... reliability is the theme. Do I get the centrifugal or turbo?
Thanks |

centrifugal would be your best bet. super easy on parts and should meet your power goals.

The thing stopping us from having electric turbos is the 12V system. You can't have high power density electric motors on 12V. That's why I think it's going to be a post-hybridization thing, as alternators and starters are ditched for flywheel mounted generators, belt driven accessories are ditched for electrically driven ones, and 12V is relegated to mundane things like switches, lights, etc., the infrastructure necessary to pipe the large amounts of electrical power that a supercharger would require would start to exist. At the end of the day efficiency would be perhaps the same as a CVT but it would become a modular electric component rather than a mechanical add on. |

I don't know about 2 motor system, for performance applications yes, but depending on the setup they could just ditch one and save the money (and lose some acceleration). Hybrid cars are already pushing it when it comes to affordability. |

serialk11r is correct. Without a high voltage circuit in the vehicle, you need very large wires and lots of current to drive electric accessories (including electric-powered forced induction).
