turbo, more reliable, more power, overall better. Do a lot of research before you jump on an FI project though

lol....you guys...most new people do not know much about the search function, well to answer your question, from experience, the SC is not as reliable as a turbo, like everybody sarcastically already said, search and you'll see for yourself, good luck.

This question comes up what seems to be a few times a month and no one ever bothers to search before adding to the host of threads so I did it for you.

I'm sure many of those pertain to your question.

The most useful thread by far is https://www.scionlife.com/forums/website-discussion-1613/duplicate-10200/

To sum it all up, go turbo or stay N/A, pretty simple.

Depends on whether you're looking for a mild performance increase or major performance increase. Superchargers are hit or miss. U got a 50/50 shot at having issues with the SC and theyre cheaper. If you got the time and money, go turbo.

Stay stock, i turboed had fun with it but not worth the amount of money to mod the car when eventually you will get something better. Food for thought

Why buy anything then, when you can always "get something better"...
