Default Supercharge or Turbocharge???

I'm having trouble in whether to go with a Turbo or Super Charge. I want to gain a lot of power from either. So far I've heard mixed opinions on both. Just hoping to get some incite on which to chose. Thanks

If you want to gain alot of power, then go turbo. its more WHP cost effective to turbo than super-charge the tC. Most people supercharge to keep the factory warranty. If you don't care about that get urself a good turbo set up and make the wheels scream!

if you are worried about warranty and emissions, go with a supercharger.

other than those two reasons, no other reason for you to choose a s/c over a turbo.
