Front wheel drive Id say throttle bodies or supercharger just cos the power curve is smoother. Less likely to spin the wheels when the car comes on boost!

If you can get your power down then the turbo is much more effecient than a supercharger as it doesnt sap engine power to make it spin!

Like Beardy says, all three have their place!

Well if it bores you then dont!

Seeing as you have contributed so much to the turbo/throttle bodies/supercharger discussion in the past million threads about it, why dont you answer the question? Maybe you could talk about compression ratios, lag, compound charging, the pros and cons of each.......

tb's for reliabltity, or go for an engine that already has turbo (C20LET)

i'd got for tb's tho, sound awesome and give very good power curve, and once setup they require little maintanence

TBs over supercharger, beause supercharger is always on boost, more fuel is used. Correct me if im wrong. TBS can have the same or little more power output than a turbo, and they sound better

Supercharger feeding a turboed engine with throttle bodies would be my ideal setup...

Nah, its a lot easier to tune a turbo charged engine than a throttle bodied set up!
