Advantages of turbo:
easier to develop more top end boost and power
boost is 'free' - it takes no power from the engine to produce it
compact turbines are easy to place anywhere in the engine compartment
Disadvantages:
supercharging produces power immediately, no lag, and better bottom end torque
heat in the engine compartment requires shielding
You takes your choices........
