IMO i think SC puts more stress on the engine than a turbo....how you ask?? the SC needs the power from the engine to work, therefore robbing power from your engine before making any
while a turbo just uses the exhuast gases that are already there and require no power borrowed from the motor to make power.....
more crank strain ftl. but having one standard tune is pretty golden imo...plus there are much more parts with possibilities of failing or creating issues.

whereas with the sc its plug n go
