Yep, NO traction. A entry level supercharger would get ya a 35-40%
increase in power. The turbo's downside is the lag before it gets
enought exhuast flow to spool up. But at the same time you're not using
power from the engine to turn a belt driven blower. Either way you could
expect about a 75hp increase.
