mm...i would go for a turbo...just cause they were made for turbos, and i disagree about fuel economy goin to shit with a supercharger...i think its equally the same, as long as the motor is under boost you will use more fuel, unless somehow you can drive a turbo car without boosting, with a turbo car as you climb rpms the ecu dumps more fuel into the combustion chambers, so therefore it doesnt matter about fuel economy its almost the same youre really not saving that much, and superchargers give you a linear powerband meaning if at 2000rpm u get 200hp then at 5000rpm you should get somewhere around that number maybe more, maybe less depending on how its setup, as for a turbo the power increases as you climb rpms so therefore it has more potential, but a supercharger also have a lot potential as long as you add the right parts, ive seen it done with my friends s/c maxima
