Supercharger is more power throughout the whole rpm band. Turbo is more hp in the higher end of the rpm bad. I used to have a turbo VW gti and for example turbos can be a little unpredictable especially on a automatic

The Prodigy is different though. It starts building pressure/power at around 2k RPM. Its actually a really efficient turbo. Its a really neat setup. Its really up in the air with either choice.. I cant knock either choice though, I honestly believe its a toss up here. Ive read a lot about both systems and it would be hard for me to choose. The Prodigy spool time is surprisingly low too. It actually provides way more torque and hp compared to the SC.

Not entirely true. Spool time has to do mostly with the size of the turbo. Thats why the ecoboost can put out 90% of peak tq at 1900 rpm. It runs two smaller turbos
