O.K. This subject is probably old and there's probably not a black & white answer, but here goes.

What are the upsides and downsides to supercharging and or turbocharging? Any info. you find on the internet seems to be bias to whatever system they are pushing. Looking for power ranges, reliability, longevity, witch is more versatile, stuff like that. My guess is they both will get about the same horsepower out of a given OCTANE in similar engines??? I''ve already got a 1071 BDS blower and an EFI converted Enderle injection hat. So, I'm just wondering. There would have to be some real compelling evidence that a twin turbo set up is superior to a blower for me to change directions now. But, I figure it doesn't hurt to keep my options open.

Blower looks Cool...............I suppose a turbo would too if done right

Blower has good bottom end torque............. Turbo good top end???

Blower uses up power to turn the blower......... Turbo uses up power blowing exhaust through the turbo.

Turbo boost adjusted with a dial............ Blower boost adjusted by changing belts & pulleys

Turbo would be lower profile ............. Blower looks cool

Turbo is said ''by salespeerson'' to last longer than a blower ????

If it backfires ........ bad news for blower vs. turbo
