a larger pulley to bump the PSI up to 8-10 and tune? doesnt seem that difficult to me. TT is more headache than its worth. Especially in the long run when you start having boost leaks, fuel supply issues, impeller wear, etc. It will cost far less to maintain a supercharger setup than anything involving a turbo. Less parts means less areas to troubleshoot if a problem occurs.

It is the total opposite, In a supercharger system larger pulley will give less boost and smaller pulley will make the blower spin faster and creates more boost. but there is a limit to how far you can go depending in the blower impeller speed capacity and keeping the belt from slipping.

Your are right in way that the a supercharger system is simpler then a turbo system but also it does reach it's max output capacity much faster then a turbo system.

Hope this help
