i'd say supercharger if you want it to work without much work. the supercharger is also more reliable it seems.

this car is extremely diffucult to turbocharge. more seem to have ruined motors than powerful ones.

What is your definition of "better"?

I'd go with a supercharger but they say the whining noise it makes when revved high is almost unbearable, atleast for some. I personally like the sound of air rushing out of a turbo. But instead of spending 5 grand on a mod, you can just buy aftermarket body kits and a whole lot of decals so it just looks like your car is fast. But that's just my ten cents, my two cents is free.

I don't own an S2000, but I imagine a supercharger might provide better response. a SC can give instant low end power gains which is exactly what the S is lacking. You will have to wait for a turbo to spool up before it provides any boost.

supercharger all the way...It's gives more useable torque, plus it's reliable and don't have whole lot of other stuff to break like a turbo...which is hands down the most important aspects.

We have a Forced Induction forum that you can post this in, but before you do that you may want to try the search button as this has been discussed at least two times in the past .

Are you kidding me? Do you know anything about the current forced induction options for our car?
