Default turbo or supercharger?

will you get more HP out of a turbo charger or a supercharger? and what would be the best engine to swap into a Sol?

turbo gives you more HP for sure.......super gives better throttle response......there are downfalls to both, most superchargers dont offer the ability to mount an intercooler..............my vote:B20 w/ JRSC

it depends on what you are looking for but you have to remember that superchargers = no adjustabilty unless you change the pully and they are parasitic...we have built alot of booth..b16 for example supercharged running 13.6 1/4 miles turbos breakin the 12 sec mark...superchargers are fun as hell on the street though instant torque

Wait, u say the super is parasitic...Doesn't the turbo restrict exhaust?
That's a redundant question btw.
