Duck and cover, buddy.

(You need to define the question a bit more.)

This is a topic that will be debated very highly as there are always different opinions. The short answer is that it depends. A turbo is not better all the time and neither is a supercharger. There will be those that somehow think one is always better but that just isn't the case. Both require proper sizing for the expected output and both wil have their advantages and disadvantages per situation. A turbo is not always more efficient than a supercharger and vice versa. It all depends what you want and how you do it. I suggest you search for different threads on the topic to see some of the different opinions and facts out there on them.

I am closing this thread because it is redundant and will probably turn into a giant debate.
