In simple terms when you are dealing with a Belt Driven Supercharger, like a Vortech Unit, then you have a given cost because you are only messing with the intake side of things.
With a Turbo system you are dealing with both Intake and Exhaust parts and most likely can double the fabrication time and plumbing costs.
With the Supercharger parts already designed and for the most part trial fitted to the Pontiac engine you can install the system in a week-end (if you are an expert at doing them or at most a couple of week-ends). Turbocharger installations and fabrication costs can be a lot higher in cost and longer in time to get to a engine you can fire up on a test stand.

About as simple as I can make it.
