I am not going to get this topic started, but it is an efficiancy thing. The turbo is small and spools fast, so there is no defficit of power in the lower rpms. A super charger (roots and cintrifical) take power to make power, the turbo makes power from exhaust.
Though there are practical applications (the only ones I can think of ar the Civics, Acuras, and Flyin Miatas!), unless the car comes SCed already, there is no reason to SC it later in the I4 world. It is more time consuming and harder than to turbo.
If you want a SC I4, get a Lotus, Mini, Ion Red Line, or Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged! Thoes are the practical I4 applications that come blown already. The Lotus has an upgraded package that has the SC 1.8L I4.
Again, This is my oppinion. This is in no way FACT!

Yeah, and then when they're done with that, maybe a four-wheel-drive conversion kit. Please, I've waited patiently like 6 months for the TURBO so far. I gave up and traded it in for something that actually has a little potential. The purchase of that car was the worst mistake ever. FWD sucks and I hated the CVT.
