Default Turbo vs. supercharger

Anyone have strong resources to compare turbo kits and superchargers specifically for S2000's? Website's??? How much HP gain and the risk's involved?

That is a turbo Dyno, at 8psi. You wont see a torque line like that with anything supercharger currently on the market.
Superchargers are generally much easier to install, but the power production will not touch a nicely packaged turbo system, all conditions equal.
Will you be installing yourself? A supercharger could probably be bolted on in under an hour(I would think never, installed one), while a turbo setup will take a full day, and thats with welding/drilling/tapping the oil pan for an oil return line.
It all comes down to what you want/need to satisfy your tastes.
This should be in the Forced Induction section too Hint xviper, hint...

The Comptech takes longer than the Vortech. (no oil pan removal for the Comptech) 4-6 hours for a Comptech and 8-25 for a Vortech.
