I've driven big engine N/A cars, I've driven turbocharged cars, and I've driven PD supercharged cars. I would rather have the response and power of a big N/A engine. But failing that, I'd rather a PD Supercharger over a turbo charger.

Can the lag of a turbocharger be driven around? Yes. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. I bought this car to DRIVE. Reducing throttle response with a turbocharger is, in my opinion, counter to the nature of the car. A supercharger, especially a PD unit, compliments this car.

Would I go turbo on my BRZ if I could do it over again? Definitely no.
Would I go supercharged on my next RallyX build? Also no.

Each has pros and cons that will work better for a specific application.
