[DMCForum] Turbo vs Super charging.

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Turbo's use less power and therefore are more
efficient..  However, when you are limited bu the rest
of the engine (and transmission) on how much power you
can create, why not go for the cheaper/easier
install??

Installing a supercharger is MUCH easier than a
turbocharger... cheaper too.
