Ok, now your questions are getting a bit silly.

Please do a search if you don't really know the answer.

There are topics on this already, have been and always will be........FLAME, use your lazy fingers to do a search are your lazy eyes to read!

Edit: I have been in your shoes, look for more things to ask. I.E. would a N/A built to the power of a Turbo me more reliable.....? And even that can be answered with a search. IF you change something from stock, it must be built with the strongest materials possible......if not, NO there is no reliability.

Mild amounts of power made by either are reliable. Once you go all out, with either one, it will get tricky.

If your not breaking stuff, your not making enough power.

i dont know why everyone thinks a turbo is unrelaiable! a turbo is only unreliable if you try to run high boost all the time, dont have correct boost management, and dont let it cool down before you turn your car off (assuming its a ball bearing turbo)...but high compression is pretty much the same thing...mix the two, and theres the real challenge

LOL actually why are u guyz clowning his question, ok its not a good one but all motor isnt nececarly "non-risky" you kno this. Throw some race only cams oversized pistons cam gears and a fully built head and u mist shift on dat 13:1 one compression (figgurtivly speeking) with that chiped ecu see what happens lol. verses a 9:8 compression turbo pushing 20 lbs of boost.... not too much of a diffrence. both are risky both are expensive.

ALL MOTOR GETS MORE RESPECT

Anything can be reliable as long as you don't do a half-*** job on it.
