Yes, I know you weren't talking of modifying any one system, but the original post was about performance vs. money in a way. I was putting them on a more level playing field funds-wise.

As far as efficiency goes, turbo has it hands down though, a supercharger loses far more through drive losses than a turbo does through increased exhaust restriction (especially compared to a typical stock exhaust system)
But only if you have enough space to get rid of the extra heat generated by the exhaust restrictions on the turbo system. I am of course, speaking of the exhaust side heat, not the compressed air heat which both create.
Or, to put it in nyceboi terms... Heat's bad, mmmmmmk?
