Im not to knowledgeable on this stuff i know a little bit but no where near enough to make an informed decision.
If any1 could give me a rough comparison between the 2 especialy in the $$$ department it would be much appreciated.

I know this a 380 thread but they talk between different set-up cost turbo and super charger. So it a good read >link> http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85816. I'm sure somebody come over tell about third gen cost as well.

They certainly aren't cheap or easy though. I'd be budgeting at least $10k for any sort of forced induction.
Off the top of my kit Bullet Supercars is the only company that offers a drive-in drive-out forced induction solution. Sprintex used to make a kit, that's now discontinued. Raptor made a kit too but last I heard they were no longer making them for Magnas.
Turbocharged you'd need to start from scratch, which means more $$$
Go the Bullet supercharged option in my opinion. If you can get your hands on an LSD then great but why go that road when a manual Ralliart Magna will have a better base and more scope for performance if that's what your looking for.

Why wad there never a turbo kit for magnas? Adding a turbo will, in theory, give you bigger power gains but consider reliability, an na engine is at high compression so you'll be have to run low boost which negates a lot of the advantage of turbocharging.
The other difference is lag, which probably is small for magna engines running low boost, but lag is zero for a supercharger. Not that lag is a bad thing, my old skyline was on its full 12psi by 3k rpm and gave the car a lot of character

Here is the place to look:
http://www.bulletcars.com/superchargers/mitsubishi/magna-3.5-v6-rotrex-supercharger-system.html
Several members have this kit - look around.. off-hand Perry has a kit but i'm not sure if its this one or the raptor one, lenda is installing a kit and there are others that escape me search supercharged or supercharger in the members ride forum.
For best results I would look at doing some internals upgrade so you can run higher boost, 7psi is OK but more is better. :)

can psi of superchargers be adjusted after installation if i do some internal upgrades after?
and when you say internal upgrades is there anything specific you are reffering 2?

Im running a rotrex supercharger on my TJ thats what the bullet cars kit used, To increase/decrease PSI of a supercharger you change the supercharger pulley size
You would want forged pistons, maybe forged rods depending on what sort of boost you want to run, bottom end balanced and some strong rod bolts like ARP Rod bolts (This is what i plan on doing) :)
