If you are looking for full out HP then go with a turbo. Turbochargers are able to produce a lot of HP in the long run compare to a s/c…so if your going to full on race your car, turbo is the way to go. Turbochargers are more costly and they do require a lot of tuning, which is a pain in the butt. A lot of the kits are not smog legal and some you actually have to custom make to fit your car. But bottom line is a turbo is great if your looking for a lot of HP and your going to full out race your car.

Now…

If you are looking for out of the box performance go with a supercharger. They are easy to install and the kits come very complete, since they are specifically designed for your car. S/C are not as efficient as a turbo, but the upside is they tend not to produce as much heat as a turbo does. Most people find that superchargers are the way to go because you can pretty much get almost the same performance as a turbo and they are not as complicated as far as tuning wise and to top it off most of them are Carb. Legal. Over all I will say the supercharger is more user friendly and more trouble free.
