    I've heard that there alot of problems but with a supercharger you can just bolt it straight on and you won't have to change compression ratios and that.

    its the same with a turbo or supercharger. if u run a lot of boost you need to reduce the compression. if u keep it under 8psi u can run reasonably safely with stock compression.

    i wouldnt say one is more reliable than the other. you can have issues with both.

    how much boost do u think ur gonna run out of a bolt on super charger anyway not as much as a turbo and the only reason y turbo are worse coz people push them abit to far, as for super chargers u can run safe low psi and still get alot of power out of them and cheaper!

    supercharger setups usually cost more than a turbo from what i have seen. make less power and higher in the rev range. Nothing against them. But i think a turbo is a better option.

    ur probably right if u wanna get the same power out of a super charger then ur getting out of a turbo it will cost more but for what ur after 220 at the wheels id suggest u find urself a t28 ballbearing turbo, boost controller, gtr front mount, waste gate, BOV, just remap the computer and heavy duty injectors ( ur obviously gonna need custom manifold dum pipe and exhaust) but ull easily get 220 at the treads running 1 bar and ul spend around 2g'z on the parts and im not sure how much on istallments and the manifold and all the way through exhaust but doubt it will b more then 5-6 g'z and ull make over 220 ( my dad spent around 5 and his making 200 at the wheels on his soarer) hope that helped

    with super chargers because there run of the belt (unlike turbo's hit on boost hard at about 3 and stay on till red line) the superchargers get higher boost the faster the belt spins and depending on the pulley ratio

    That would only be true assuming you have a high displacement supercharger which requires a comparatively greater effort to reach max boost.

    It all depends on what application/size you look for but if your not gonna run more than 8psi, theres no reason why a smallish supercharger cannot make that same power for the same cost possibly even cheaper.
