I have never met a turbo owner who would describe the experience as "install and forget".
Before getting my supercharger, I was 100% set on a turbo. But when I started talking to turbo owners, I asked if they would have done anything differently with their build. Surprisingly, the majority said they would probably have just gone with a supercharger instead, because they felt like they were frequently coming back to the shop to get their cars retuned, or to get parts replaced/tweaked. That was convincing enough to turn me to the supercharger side.
Also, there's a big difference between OEM and aftermarket setups for both turbos and SCs. OEM units are built with longevity at the forefront, and run pretty conservative tunes (to give an example, you can tune a bone stock FRS to 200whp on a really aggressive tune). Aftermarket kits are designed for more power because that's what customers in the aftermarket are demanding.
