Default Turbo Charged S2k???

anyone got a turbo charged s2k, how come i dont hear about them more often, just curious, ive heard of a s/c'd s2k but no turbo's, anyone care to share why there isnt many of them, and if you do have one, could you share a bit of info about it, i think that'd be cool to hear about it.

There are some turbo ones, but seems that most have gone SC.

Seems like most FWDs have turbos and RWDs have supers, is it just me? or is there a reason for that?.

not totally sure, but isn't s/c'ing not as punishing to the engine (compared to turboing)?

Did I read somewhere that a Supercharged S2000 did 12's, that would be a very good time for a charger.

I only know of two turbo`d s2k`s. Both are silver and are in SoCal. The turbo kits are very very pricey and they will not pass emmisions.

Watchout for misinformation some novice might actually believe you.

I always believed superchargers to be more punishing and reliability-averse, seeing as how they are always working. Turbos, to the best of my knowledge, require more engine work and are not always working. But then again, I could have it all wrong, so I'll shut up about that.

But what I DO know is that turbos are not very common because the compression ratio in the S2K is too high.
