they both have pros and cons,neither is better or worse,it depends on the situation and resources.

and i dont think i would call this the battle of the century,its only 2007 with 93 more years to go,im sure there will be a better battle to be had at some point int he next 93 years?

That is not entirely fair either, the turbo creates a measurable airflow restriction in order to operate which does rob some power similar to the supercharger. It is debatable as to which is more efficient but I am not an expert here.

I would guess the the NOS is much closer to "free or unused power" than the other two.

NOS is a brand name, not a product.

Thanks for that clarification.
Glad I did not say "juice", engines don't run strong on vitamin C.

If your talking about price and install its not even close. The bottle is the best value for the price. I consider someone running it not making power because of there engine or what mods they have done but using an different fuel source as there power gain. I love the fact i have power every second and don't need to worry about if someone pulls up besides me when im not ready.

Ive seen way too many cars on the bottle beat supercharged and Turbochargd cars. On the street of course be we know how things can change on the big roads. I think its the initial torque the bottle gives imo

Way to general of a question. If $$ is no object a turbo beats nitrous and a supercharger hands down.

I say bottle. Lots of compression & lots of spray.

I find it best to avoid conflict, so just use both and be done with it!

Ditto! They compliment each other
