Default Turbo Question

Hey guys. Just a small question about something thats been bugging me. Why do more people go with turbo chargers than super chargers? Arent super chargers more responsive and have less turbo-lag than their turbine powered cousins? Is there a big price difference or what?

turbos are easy to get, and you can make them work on any car. Superchargers are made for specific engines... Harder to replace...

with companies like vortech and jackson racing, finding a supercharger for your car isn't that difficult anymore...

but nothing can replace the sound of a blow-off valve from a turbo...

Ever heard a car pass by your full throttle. Sounds ok but when you add Turbo and a Blow-off Valve to it...Your stunned and in awe. Turbo is good for the top end and personally, more jap than American Supercharger!! ^_^ Japan Spec Rocks!
