Turbos are great, but the upfront cost for them and the difficulty of install discourages a lot of people. A lot of F/I guys are DIY so the supercharger is a more feasible install and good for a street car. but at the strip, a turbo will crush a blower on a heavily modded car, but there are always variables to take into account. You can beat a blower with w turbo and vice versa, just depends what your goals are and how deep your pockets are.

but look at this, look how many cars have turbos as OE versus a supercharger OE, enough said.

my reason for doing twin turbos is that it would actually be cheaper then a supercharger, at least as far as making a homemade kit its cheaper
