You mean in terms of MPG, volumetric or adiabatic efficiency? So turbos are often easier to mount, have better mpg, better peak torque, cheaper, lighter and they sound cool. Sounds good for racing/ top end acceleration where as superchargers as someone above said simply raise the power curves but don't necessarily change their shape. I think Im getting it and I think I would still prefer a small, low boost SC.
