I think better is a relative term.
As far as performance goes, I believe turbos are better.
But a supercharger has its own advantages as well as a way cooler sound. I went with the supercharger.

S/C for me. Although turbo's have much more potential... I couldn't live without that whine!

S/C. I like the whine, the instant power, and I DESPISE the sound of the blow off valve on turbos. Just my opinion, but it sounds...I dunno, weak, or something. Anytime I hear one, I want to go race the guy with it and kick his ***.
Again, just my opinion.

Though I voted for supercharger, my project is leading me towards getting a turbocharger. Reason being, ChrisG recently sent me a video on youtube of the legendary Grand Prix Turbo and had me thinking. I want to turbo this car and do minor visual upgrades to keep its factory look. I want to build this car up as if Pontiac actually built a turbo GP in 2000. So there it is guys, thats what I am going for. I haven't come up with a name to replace GT, but I may try to find the old Grand Prix Turbo Badges and slap em on when the car receives the turbo...
