Personally I think the turbo. It is more complicated and usually more costly because there are few kits out there they usually have to be custom built. Speed tweaks I think is working on one for the v-6 and I would go for it if I were you.

Both have their Pro's and Con's. It's budget and ease of installation dependent. (Ok..and if you want to have the only Turbo-Dak on your block.) ;)

Seriously though, it's been debated over the years and the Centrifugal Supercharger vs. Turbo debate has really not gotten anywhere at all. They both work very well.

Yup...as compared to the screw type blowers, the centrifugal is much easier on your engine as well.

Yes, you can build a twin turbo setup for the V6...but it'll cost much more than a supercharger.
