Any experience or knowledge about the reliability of these two options would be appreciated.
Regards,
A supercharger (I have a supercharged car), while in many ways a "cleaner" installation (doesn't have all that piping and tubing), is generally a more expensive and complex device, and especially as an aftermarket installation. Also a supercharger should last the life of the car, also some require maintenance periodically.
I think most turbo or SC problems occur on aftermarket installs. Too much boost, too weak an engine, inadequate (or no) intercooling, etc.
