This could go either way.
Supercharger: Overall approx 85% efficiency, near instantaneous torque depeding on blower style (roots, centrifugal), linear powerband directly related to engine RPM. Turbo: Overall approx 95% efficiency equating to more power at a given boost point over a blower, more potential than a blower, but non-linear powerband, turbo lag, and more difficult to tune. Also, exponentially more expensive. --------------------  |
