Supercharger or Turbo, let the debate begin!

Now, I know the majority of cost is installation, so when you mentioned that you did it by yourself in one day... what is your level of mechanical inclination, tools needed, the amount of top of your lung cursing you did during the installation and were you terrified you would destroy your beloved stang' and have nobody to blame for it but yourself?
Chris,
your treatise on the different types of boost and how they work was exactly what this science teacher needed an education in understanding why each system does what it does. Are turbo Mustangs that uncommon or is it that Superchargers are more cost friendly and easier to install? Do you have a company you prefer over the others available and a shop you have used to install?
I really appreciate the time you took to answer.

Quick281,
I am really liking the combo of performance and retro styling of the Saleen supercharger with the shaker attachment. JDM has a cool video on that pkg. and seems to use it on a lot of their in-house and customer cars. http://www.teamjdm.com/index.php Check it out and let me know what you think.

i like that charger more every time i see it. but id buy it from brenspeed. http://www.brenspeed.com/05-08-mustang-power-adders-saleen.html
started with brenspeed, never had any trouble at all with them. and they are usually better priced. been buying a lot from american muscle now because of the promo code. ive had 2nd gear issues with my car from the day i got it. ford half ass fixed it when it went the first time, blew up 2 more times since
I owned my car for 4 years now. With the same turbo kit on it. As many know Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords did all the work on this car. That kit has really been on the car since 02/03. It has been very relaible It has prove that is can go fast. My best being a 9.46 @ 143 with 13 psi and 65mm Turbo. So isn't even a large race turbo. It can go max of 30 psi. So I still have a lot of room. I plan on running 25 psi this year just have to go get my race tune tweaked for it. I'm going to try and break into the 8's with this little 65 mm turbo.
Turbo systems can be a very good for making power and going fast. If you look at most NMRA races, They are switching to turbo setups. Even regular car companies. Use either turbo setups to make power. Audi, BMW, Even Fords new Eco-boost motors are Turbocharged.
