I'm curious if somene in here could tell me why everyone seems to have a big hard on for turbo chargers over superchargers? Yes I understand that turbochargers "apparently" tend to require less drain/pull from the engine to make their boost by using exhaust flow to turn the turbine. But the HP superhcargers use off the pulley to turn their impellers couldn't be *that* much more to offset the advantages that superchargers offer, namely no issues with turob lag, way less installation issues, much easier to install and uninstall, cleaner looking engine bays, etc. Is there something I am missing here?
