FAI, which is better - turbos or blowers

I don't know if I agree about Superchargers being easier to install. If you buy a bolt on kit, yes, perhaps they are. But if you are doing custom stuff, you REALLY need the pulley alignment dead tits on or you will hurt stuff. However, there are now bolt on turbo kits which are about as easy to install as some blower kits.
As far as "less lag with the Supercharger", thats an unfair statement. Show me an S-trim that makes boost at 2500 RPM. They all make it at higher engine speeds no matter HOW you are driving it. With a turbo, its entirely possible to have boost by 2000 rpm and full boost by 3000 RPM. Show me a blower (besides roots or screw type) that offers those numbers.
