yeah superchargers are awesome with that classic blower "whine", but IMO, a turbo just can't be beat...i mean, it gives the engine more power from the engines exhaust (so it's not "using" any of the motor's power to make more power), it can be tweaked to make more boost, which = even more power, and i guess b/c i'm such a big diesel fan, the spool-up and blow-off valve sounds are cooler to me, but that's just IMO...
