Of course a supercharger will drag on an engine when it's not being used, too. It's a tradeoff with either of them.
You can run an electric clutch on the supercharger to minimize drag when driving normally.
What is nice about the supercharger is that the boost is more linear than a turbo system and it is each to swap out pulleys on belt driven systems to change boost levels. Since these do not have exhaust passing through them, you also have longer life and less heat problems than turbos.
There's a guy on rv.net, goes by the name supercharged, who SWEARS by using a supercharger to tow! He threw one in a 1/2 ton Ford and tears up grades like nobody's business. 10 guys will usually line up telling him he's a fool, but I gotta say....he's been doing it for the past couple years at least...

Thanks for all the info. The cn/cfmoto 250 makes max tq 17.6nm at I believe 5500 rpm, and max hp at 7000 or so. Now I think West Coast turbo gave apporx 50% gain (not going back to look), would this mean at 6000 rpm I would still be approaching max tq?

West coasts turbo is preset, to avoid customer claims. You could easily get 75 to 100% gain with an adjustable turbo. You would just have to use very high octane fuel to prevent detonation. I have Had my 650 up to 15lbs of pressure which give 100 % gain on HP with no problems.
