Finally, you can always swap to a different sized turbo or vary exhaust and compressor sizes if you are not happy with your turbo profile. You can swap superchargers too, but it isn't always as easy or an option. The JRSC has the C30 and C38, but the Edelbrock kit doesn't offer a different sized blower. It is typically much easier to option a turbocharger of your desire during an initial purchase, and it is easier to make a swap later--typically.

Seems like there is just overall less to go wrong with a SC vs turbo and they have greater consistency to throttle inputs as it is directly driven off the crank.
