Reasons Superchargers are the lesser option
1. More maintainence.
2. Less torque at low RPMs due to being belt driven
3. Not Upgradable without changing at least one of pullies, belts, or supercharger units
4. No additional belts to break if using a turbocharger

I agree...I'm just stuck because the main things I love about the turbo are-power earlier on, easier to increase psi, sound great, less maintenance, and the supercharger-easier to install, more reliable, less chance for boost spike. I just can't decide...My power goals are achievable from both. Wish I could drive in both and compare them ha ha
