Better for what? A turbo makes boost/power as you need it. More throttle opening = more boost. Great for street car or a road racer. OTOH, a blower makes a set amount of boost per rpm, regardless of demand. Great for drag racing. Turbos are more complicated, and more difficult to install, but are generally cheaper to buy.
I have a turbocharged Harley that generally runs around 2-3 psi during a steady cruise. But when I whack the throttle or pull a long hill the boost goes up. Great fun to ride. I've been looking for a nice turbo kit for my 360, but havn't found one.

Unless you get a twin screw s/c. Boost depends on throttle position.

Did anyone ever see the turbo Shelby Dakota prototype? Carrol Shelby actually built one(pre-Magnum, early 90's). I believe it was a 360, but I distinctly remember it being a twin turbo. Wish I could bet my hands on that!
