Turbochargers can be found for cheap used on ebay or something, and installation is not that much more difficult than a supercharger system. There are numerous reasons why I feel turbos are better than superchargers for street applications, some of which are...
More Power across the RPM range - Turbos can get full boost at 2500 RPM while superchargers only reach max boost at redline.
Ease of boost adjustability - all it takes is the turn of a knob with a boost controller, or splice in a cheap little valve into the wastegate line and youre set. No pulley changes.
No horsepower loss due to crank drag
No strain on the crank - taking apart a supercharged engine youll see the front bearings developing abnormal wear patterns
These are only some of the reasons why I feel Turbos are better than superchargers. V8s dont need 2 turbos, infact singles are the choice of many because it can perform just as well as a twin setup with half the piping headaches. Turbos on today's fuel injected muscle cars are easy to do because of all the high tech sensors (MAF, knock, etc) and tuning tools. Its really easy to set up and get tuned. How do I know, and whats my creditability? Well here is my 95 Turbo Mustang GT. Stock block, pistons, crank (bottom end basically)... best ET: 10.903 @ 129.30 @ only 14 psi. Better times to come...
