As it stands now, supercharger, jut because the Hymee system is so well designed and engineered. That matters much more to me than the whole "turbo- vs. supercharger" debate.

put twin turbos leading into a SC leading into two more twins and finally one more SC.

EDIT: almost forgot - you also need to make sure you have 3 rotors to handle all that FI.

indeed - a search function would be a great tool - it would be even better if someone would put it ON EVERY PAGE up by a tool bar in between the new posts and quicklinks function...

No. You have just as much limitation or potential with a given sc as a given turbo.
