A supercharger is like putting a larger engine into your vehicle and running the a/c all the time (power drain). You could almost think of a 2.4L SC with 7lb boost is just like having a 3.6L engine... ALL THE TIME (including the gas mileage of a 3.6L).
A turbo will act more like a small engine at low rpms and a big engine at higher rpms.
It's power is not completely free. The turbo a little power robbing back pressure and exhaust heat buildup, which some may find annoying.
You will find car manufactured tend toward turbos because they can advertise the MPGs of a small engine and the HP of a big one. They forget to tell you that if you drive it for the HP, you get just as bad gas mileage.
