Yeah... my **** doesnt sound like that....
My blower doesnt hardly make any noise at all except a little at idle... I damn sure dont hear any cool whistling when WOT... If it wasnt for my 2 BOVs and a little whistle at idle, I'd never know my car had a blower.

Here is my old '99 Camaro which had a 408 with an F-1A. It had a powerglide with a 5000 stall that we were driving through, which is why the mph was so low. It had a Moser M9 with 3.70 gears, and 325/50R15 M/T drag radials. Bob

The procharger is definitely the more economical choice and they are totally a better choice for a street driven hot rod since the power is instantaneous where as a turbo has to spool up in order to build pressure. Also, turbos are a plumbing nightmare: custom fabricated headers, plumbing to and from the turbine, plumbing to and from the compressor, waste gate and a blow off valve. Turbo's are not for the recreational beginner. Unless you mean business, don't go there. Prochargers on the other hand are very user friendly and economical.
Also, turbo's are not free power adders. They are also parasitic just like a supercharger, just not as bad because they are not directly coupled. I have seen pressures build to over 60 psi on the turbine side of racing turbos! This is pressure directly opposing piston travel on the exhaust stroke, so it is not free energy.
Finally, even if you are talented enough to fabricate your own headers and plumbing, the procharger would still be cheaper to do even if you don't count your labor as an expense. Don't kid yourself guys. Come on.

heres how i look at it.
turbos
big single= king dick power.best on the track can be lagy on the street.
twins= less lagy but can still make big power,alittle harder to package on some cars, good street race/just all around fast/fun car
super chargers= best driving experience, power on demand less over all power, best if you like twisty back/mountain roads
this is not the hard fast rule but it seems mostly true based on my experience. it not to say that you cant do one with the other but they have there best suited rolls
