Thanks a lot for the information. I know have a much better idea where the different packages stand. (Hope this has also helped the OP)

Personally, I don't have a preference between the two (super vs turbo).

Which thread are you talking about? I"ve been skimming them, but haven't kept up on all of them. There are a LOT of them.

And that's one damn funny picture.

The question isn't really "3 rotor or turbo" it's more like "replace entire drivetrain or turbo"

Unless you're going N/A 3 rotor, which is kind of pointless when you can get similar power from a turbo or supercharger

no, 3 rotor is better. Just not as cost effective.
