turbo or super

Yeah, I know people that swear by both of them. It all depends on what you want. Some say that a supercharger is a little more reliable, but I think they're about the same.
Although superchargers are good, I prefer turbochargers. You'll get a little more power out of a turbocharger, plus you have more expansion options after you install one than you would with a supercharger.
Also, superchargers sound good, but there's nothing on this earth like the sound of a turbo!

I would personally go Turbo (hopefully this summer). Cause turbo's are way more upgradable then a SC. What you buy is waht you get basically. Where as a turbo, you can get a bigger turbo, boost controller. etc, etc. And plus the sound of the BOV...hmmmm I can't wait.
