I just wanted to know what other people thought. Both the super and turbo chargers have there advantages and disadvantages. I found a great site on the subject. Tell me what you think of the info on this link http://www.powercx.com/celica/turbovssc.pdf#search='turbo%20vs%20supercharger%20by%20alan%20paradise'

Tey both have advantages and disadvantages. take a look at this site it is the best one I have found on the subject. http://www.powercx.com/celica/turbovssc.pdf#search='turbo%20vs%20supercharger%20by%20alan%20paradise'
