Default SC vs. Turbo

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that more and more problems with SC installs are croping up and less and less turbo problems?

Just curious, thats all. About a year ago, if anyone mentioned going with a turbo, there would be a ton of responses from SC owners about how unreliable turbos were. Since then, I've noticed a growing number of threads listing problems cropping up with SC installs, but not very many with TC installs.

Figure 400, maybe 600 superchargers and what, 20 or 30 turbos, maybe 50 max? Got to look at things in perspective.

If you talk about the mechanical parts, SC usually fail due to vibration and belt related items. SC needs some maintenance or inspection regularly on belt related items. But if things fail, usually won
