personally i would have a supercharger over a turbo any day ok arguably the turbo is more tunable however the more boost u run the worse the lag gets where as superchargers pull all the way through rev range its just a lot nicer and more drivable ok with a turbo u can drop it down the gears and the lags not a problem but who wants 2 b constantly bouncing there car off the rev limiter
if u had 2 cars both pushing out the same power but 1 was turbocharged & the other supercharged u would have the supercharged every time its just a lot more drivable and u feel the power a lot lower down the rev range

in my opinion (and it is only my opinion} u chose the right 1 out of the 2 u just didnt have a very good reason 4 it

as 4 yr question theres a supercharged mondeo st200 in my country which is pretty much the same car as yr contour svt so yes it can b done but i cant tell what supercharger was used (although im 99% certain it came from the us) i could probably find out 4 u in a couple of days if u want me 2 but not now its 3am and i need 2 get some kip

So much for the Queen's English.

you really need to do some research on the vortech kit and the ADC turbo kit available for the contour.

First of all, more boost does not mean more lag.

Secondly, the ADC turbo kit makes more power than the Vortech kit anyday. Even if they did make the same power, the turbo kit would crush it since its make extremely more power under the curve because the boost from the Vortech is so delayed. Heck, modified 3.0L's are making almost as much torque as Vortech'ed 2.5L's. Turbo SVT's are making about 265-270 wtq whereas the Vortech 2.5L's are making about 205-215 wtq. The Vortech does not pull all the through the rev range. Youll start making boost at probably 5,000 rpms and wont peak boost until redline. Where as with the ADC turbo kit, youll be making full boost at 2,800 rpms. What turbo lag?
