Turbo or supercharger

My sons 17 RG is at getting a Trask installed right now. If it were me, I'd go turbo vs supercharger. Almost every little car on the highway today makes big power out of a little motor with a turbo and the get 100k's of dependable miles from those cars.
I'd follow in those footsteps, the power is only there when you need it.

can not comment on the mc part but the supercharger and turbo each has +/-'s.
turbos are free power but costs more initially and planning is a must. there are sometimes lag issues but you will have heat issue but intake and exhaust that must be taken care of. then there is extra maintenance since engine oil is part of the mix.
superchargers are less complex hooking up and usually have no issues with lag. they produce heat issues for the intake. they are easier to trim for needs.
then you have to decide whether you are going to control boost by design or by gated waste control. a lot of cars are really not full time boosted, turbo is just spinning away but not wasting parasitic load of turning it.
then there are drive issues being the supercharger has to be electric or mechanical.
choice is personal. my brother-in-law runs twin paxton blowers with "S" trim on a 350 in a two door nova body and it tears up modern super cars. he runs an after-market holley injection system with on the fly computer control so he can go from mild to wild at an instant.
