do you want to have a 'discussion' on this? OR do you really want to chose on a better power adder?

if money is endless: turbo.
if you want the comfort of a nicely done package: SC

I've been debating the same question ... so, may I add a couple of more questions? If money isn't an issue, which would be less damaging to the engine? Are there any other mods that you need to do besides whatever kits you can buy to have either one installed? Mine is not a daily driver nor do I race it, but don't want to do anything to damage my car!

I say turbo. I also like the fact that its different. I would think turbo is less "stressful" on the engine because unlike a SC it doesnt run off the engine (belt driven) Depends on how much money you want to spend. The turbo was definately a head ache IMO thats for sure.

If money isn't an object, the engine should be already forged and have a good tune, either one can make big power but the turbo has the potential for bigger power and a big cool factor.
