Turbo Vs. Procharger

Every time a comparison is made, people say a turbo is so much cheaper than a Procharger head unit, but I say it's only cheaper because people buy the cheap turbos. A quality turbo that can make 800rwhp on a stock cube motor and is OEM reliable is going to cost how much money??? I honestly don't know, but I doubt it's the $500 ebay turbo's every one uses as an arguement of turbo vs. supercharger.
I only have $3200 in my D1SC setup which is good for ~800+ at the wheels. Granted, I didn't buy my head unit new, but it was newly freshened at Procharger and I saved ~$500, so lets say I have $3700 in it if I had gotten a new D1SC from Bob. Sure, single blower vs. dual turbos, but putting together a D1SC setup anymore is pretty reasonable.

Omg so many newbs on both sides
Anyone advocating using 50$ wastegates to others because they are proven should shut it
No wonder the blower guys think alot of the turbo guys are retarded, because i do too
There are so many half assed unreliable turbo builds on this forum it is no wonder people think they are unreliable
Build a system with good components, and care given to things like crankcase breathing, drains/feed, plumbing layout, adequate bypass capacity, ect. and it will run day in and day out problem free

Dont expect to know everything from the forums bud. Not everyone has same opinions or preferences, soo all that makes everything more confusing.

What are the pros and cons... well i would say pros for a turbo with good parts, not cheap knockoff copycat parts, is good reliability with excellant power and ability to control power. Supercharger is bolt on and go. Procharger is a reputable company, i wouldnt say the same for most knockoff turbo accessories.

I didn't say the wastegates are exactly the same obviously one is Chinese and the other is made in America. i stated that a wastegate is simply an actuator and they all work the same. My gates are damn good quality for 1/5 the price of yours. Idk about you but to me its a no brainer which one to buy
