A turbo is more efficient as it is powered by waste gas and requires no effort on the engine mechanics itself to spin it.

that may have been true with older supercharger systems but with a properly designed supercharger system with a bypass valve, parasitic loss is usually less than 1hp....

the first thing i do with my motors, or anybody i help with is delete the EGR system, it is useless and just makes it harder to change your spark plugs...
