Maybe a sticky, for the pros and cons of nitrous, turbo and superchargers when used on our cars?

just some quick ideas:

pros:
nitrous:
somewhat easy to install
universal
on demand power
various levels

turbo:
adds potential for alot of power
always there
can vary the power of it too


supercharger:
depending on kit, somewhat easy to install
always there
nice whine (depending on model)
just way cool

cons:
nitrous:
bottle refills
not always there like a turbo/supercharger
getting all the gadgets and goodies adds up

turbo:
costly
can be complex to install
heat
tunning (to some not fun)

supercharger:
costly
tunning (to some not fun)
heat
