"I think this is an American quote where they are bought as kits to add to any engine.
They are only the most cost effective as they simply bolt on and are run from a drive belt.
A turbo requires a new exhaust system to be fabricated if fitted as an add on and therefore is more difficult.
This thread has nothing to do with loving or hating them, the question was asked, "what are the differences between the two", that is all.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO" ??
The best place to find all the answer is to get the book by Allan Allard, Supercharging and Turbocharging.
Allard is a British company and have been involved in supercharging engines since the 1940s and still are involved to this day.
1982 saw Alan publish his knowledge in a book titled 'Turbocharging and Supercharging', re-issued in 1986 in paperback form it has since been accepted as the leading technical handbook to the keen enthusiast. Alan continues with turbocharging and intercooling to this day in Monmouth, South Wales.
This book is a great read honest.
