Which do you prefere and why?

I really can't decide. I love the fact you have to rev the nuts off N/A's to get power out of them, and the noise on the limiter But, I love the sudden power off turbo's, and the noise of the dump valves, obviously

Never been in a SC'ed car so I can't really comment, although I hear it's power all the way through the rev range? Seen a few clips on YT and they sound amazing

love the sound of the turbo kicking in but that supercharger whine is so amazing, it beats everything else imo.

not really too keen on N/A, it just bores me

I love the sound of the turbo in my Astra GSi but you can't bet the Whiney sound of a Super Charger.

Sound wise I prefer N/A. One of the best engine noises I've heard is from the V10 in the Porsche Carrera GT.

Power delivery I like my diesel for day to day driving. Power is pretty much there all the time

NA all the way I think! Supercharger whine on the JCW is cool and my old P1 had an ace turbo whistle but it isnt just about noise, its about power delivery!
