let me just add by supercharger is belt driven. So even if you're getting 360 to the wheel, you're actually not putting all that down. you're losing a lot to the belt (not including drivetrain loss)
on a turbo, you're getting every last whp (-drivetrain loss) to your car.

c'mon man.. measuring horsepower at the wheels eliminates all the theoretical driveline losses etc etc and tells you exactly what you actually put to the ground. Once you measure wheel horsepower, it doesn't matter where the power came from.
The reality is that turbos and superchargers have different power delivery in terms of hp/torque at each rpm. The greddy kit makes significantly more power at lower rpm's than all the centrifugal superchargers that are out right now for the s2k, and it has a greater "area under the curve". This means that once you get past the trace amount of turbo lag, a greddy turbo'd s2k will have more mid-range power then a supercharged one. Given that when you're racing, though, you tend to keep the cars at the top of the rpm range while you shift, this advantage may not matter in a RACE, but probably helps day to day liveability.

Ok, I'm about to start the car, but which fuse do I pull to prime the turbo with oil? Greddy says to pull the ECM fuse, and in my Honda manual is says there are three ECM fuses located under the hood? 
Do I pull all three of those out or is there something else I could do?

What the hell are you talking about? 300 WHEEL horsepower is 300 WHEEL horsepower. If your supercharger is making 300 hp AT THE WHEELS, then you are putting 300 hp "to the ground". Which is the same 300 hp the turbo would make "at the wheels".
