Turbo.
HP and tq is all determined in the tune.
Most likely those zzp numbers on the SC is in a aggressive tune. (Aggressive tune= less MPG)
I use more my Turbo for just to come out of corner and passing cars, than racing... and I does its job with no boost lag at all. And still manage to have 22mpg city
Again is all in the tune.

That seems counter intuitive. With a turbo once you hit boost you get a big HP/TQ spike. I could be wrong though, but like the other person said both put more stress on your drivetrain which is why you would want to get supporting mods (mounts, clutch, axles, etc) depending on your final numbers.
I was going to go turbo hence my name, but ultimately I bought a TVS which will get me the numbers I want in a sc.
SC is best for real world street driving. Turbo is good for track and producing high numbers, but there is kinda a loss in our FWD cars, going past like 450 seems kinda iffy. I watch people lose traction constantly. Yeah it cool to hit your turbo and lose traction but not when your racing someone. I don't want to have to drive around on drag radials for everyone to suspect my car is crazy fast and get pulled over by cops all the time.
