Ah... the famous Super v. Turbo debate.

Both have their positives and negatives.

I personally prefer tubos because of their versitility and effectiveness, as well as their efficiency.

With a super, you have to make power to get power because of the belt drive system. The more belts you add to your motor, the more power it takes for your motor to move those belt-driven items. Also, supers have a glass ceiling for power. The do make power all the time, but they can only make as much boost as the pulley will allow that is installed. To change that boost level, you have to dismantle the exterior of the unit to change the pulley.

With a turbo, you will have your normal amount of N/A power until the turbo can spool up and create positive pressure. The larger the turbo (impeller), the more exhaust pressure it takes to spool it. The BEST part about a turbo is that boost pressure is regulated by the spring tension of the wastegate - either by vacuum pressure or by the max load that the spring can withstand. This allows you to control how much boost you create at anytime with a boost controller. You could be running the stock 3 or 4 psi (depends on the wastegate's spring), push a button and instantly be running 10psi.

That's my very short answer. A lot of people think that supers are better because they provide 'constant' power, but they top off quickly. Another fear of turbos is that there are so many pieces that need to be installed. I confess, before I installed mine, I had no idea how they worked or what everything did. Now that I have one, it's all very simple.

Hope this helps out.
