i voted super charger 
cause u can buy it and install it urself easy peasy
were the turbos there are no off the shelf kits plus i would want 2 turbos
if i had to have turbos and then there is all the extra work involved were u can just chuck a supercharger on and change computer chip and we he instant power

umm... if you can bolt up a supercharger it wouldn't be THAT much more work in the scheme of things to do a turbo setup.

Firs of all there is more to any form of FI then to mount it and fit a 'computer chip'. Second there is turbo kits to suit VN-VR V6, VS-VZ V6, VN-VS V8 and the full LS1 range.i voted super charger

bah. Don't believe everything you read. Practical is often quite different to what you expect from theory. Drive both, then decide.

The sound of a supercharged V8 gets me going anytime

I like turbos.
Less wear on the engine and more economical to use, however if you want an economical car why drive a performance car??
More seems to go wrong with SC, but thats just what I've heard, if I was going to FI my VE would go turbo.
Anyone heard of the new tech they are using in the F1's?? Makes power through the wheels, can be used in a short burst much like nos, except its free power. Never seen it used locally and I dont know much about it.

after driving a stock r33 gtst down toojay road (Spelling) at 180 ks an hour im curious to what a turbo vp ss could do given the same conditions.
Now tell me if im wrong here coz i heard it from one person with no mechanical trade backing him up BUT i hear you can do dual application a supercharger for low to mid range and a big turbo for top end. Don't flame me as im curious to the idea of it and just wanna know if the guy is a twat. Until this question is answered i wont answer ^^
