Hp levels are similiar assuming comparable equipment, but the turbo has a definite advantage in being able to control boost levels down track which is great for the small tire cars. There is a considerable amount of fabrication in a turbo setup which can be intimidating for sure. Another plus for the turbo is you can buy one piece of the puzzle at a time as budget permits instead of the one big hit for the blower. After reading what i just wrote i have to wonder why we sold the turbo setup in the sig to build a procharged setup lol
