Default If you had to do it all over....

If you had to do your build all over would you stick with supercharger/turbo or switch to turbo/supercharger and why?

You included it. Centrifugals are superchargers by function

ve: volumetric effiency. Turbo's help engines breathe at cruise and increase economy

I love my 78mm turbo on my 6L LQ4. Can start making boost as low as 1800 rpm. With the electronic controller it's super easy to dial back boost when towing heavy or when I find 93 rather than E85. I wish I had known about the VSracing Gen 2 78mm, only regret.

I just recently swapped a MP112 Magnacharger for a 78 mm turbo, I am very happy with that choice, I do miss the instant torque from the supercharger but once I am in boost the turbo gives me 140 more HP than I had with the supercharger. IAT temps are far lower now and I can up the boost as simple as dialing up the boost controller.
Loved my supercharger for 15 years and 177,000 miles, think I am going to like the turbo even more.
