Re: which is more reliable (1fastcx)
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.

Re: which is more reliable (Spade)
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.

But, it also depends on how maticulous you are.

Re: which is more reliable
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

Re: which is more reliable (1fastcx)
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.
