How do superchargers have less lag than a Turbo? A SC is crank driven, ie it spins in relation to the rpms. Therefore the faster the engine spins, the faster the SC spins. Therefore the higher in the upper RPMs, the more boost and boost is limited only by the redline. So if you have a SC at 5psi, you'd only get 5psi at or near the REDLINE. If you look at the Jackson Racing base kit for the stock Zetec, you'll see it's making 150whp at 7000rpms and barely 130wtq.

Alright, I'm done. I could go on and on but this is ultimately about personal preference vs actual facts so no point in wasting my breath anymore. Go drive a supercharged zetec then a turbo'd zetec and then tell me which is better.
