i wonder though how much easier a supercharger is to install.. ok fnie we made DIY kits which are alot more work but when talking about full kits ready to install out of the box.. i don't think supercharger is that much "easier".. i mean you can have just a turbo without intercooler just like SC and the rest is pretty much the same.. piping might be different.. roots you need to remove the intake mani.. turbo you need to take off the exhaust mani.. injectors, maf, tune, gauges.. all teh same.. has for centrifugal, well its a turbo on a belt..

performance, i would say turbo but only in the high end.. if your only looking for 200-230whp for example.. both are similar (at least the powerworks) .. reliability well i don't know.. you do see alot more turbo cars than supercharged cars so i would say about equal..as for upgrading, turbo would be much easier unless theres an upgrade exacly for what you have already in s/c ..

tuning i agree with flow.. tuning eneds to be good on either.. boost is boost. different tuning maybe..but still.. the reason why tuning was not as important on a JRSC for example was caus it only ran like 5 psi.. and most turbos setups go over that..



as for having an automatic.. most people will steer you towards the supercahrger caus usually the ATX cannot hold has much torque as a MTX car.. and the superchargers usually (at least the JRSC) dont give has much torque as most turbos.. so its a better "match".. but you could run only 5-6 psi on either..
