you do know that turbos are better fo low-end power than superchargers, right?

superchargers produce full boost at top rpm, a turbo can produce full boost as low was 2,000rpm (sometimes lower, sometimes higher. it depends on sizing/application) and often can hold full boost as far as the engine can rev.

superchargers are regarded as better in some applications because there's no lag, whereas often turbos can suffer some lag.
