Thats not entirely true. Since a turbo is a big exhaust restriction it does rob a little power, but nothing compared to power a supercharger takes.

If it's a high rpm motor, go turbo. If it's low, go supercharger.
Redlines at 6600..The NOS should be in about 1 or 2 weeks. Depends on Mike at AUTO SOLUTION..RIGHT MIKE?

I did some research and as far as super chargers go, I would have to cut the hood or get G over at auto solutions to custom one for me. Both the turbo and the supercharger are under development. Greddy and Power Enterprise are the only companys that I have seen that have something in the works. Possibly nismo also may have something. So we shall see. Im sure Eric, Chris and Mike can figure something out before summer.

Peace

Greddy TD05H 18G Twin Turbo

It's not actually "robbing" power. It's just holds the car in vaccum a little longer until the turbo spools up to positively pressurize the manifold.

Well that is partially true, but the turbo is still an exhaust restriction causing back pressure. Back pressure= power loss. The only way you could do it with no power loss at all would be to have the compressor powered by something completely separate from the engine: not belts, not exhaust.
