I wonder why the Mini S gave up the supercharger for their 07 models in favor of a turbo (no sarcasm meant at all).

Boost is boost, turbos and SC units compress air. Mercedes CL55 has a supercharger, you ever drive one of those, nice. I think the argument is going to be that the turbo was more efficient it made like 8-12 more hp. To each his own, I would'nt think waiting for the turbo to spool up would be a bonus on the Box because the bottom end is dead on our cars. With the SC the boost comes on fast when you nail it.
