Actually the supercharged S4 uses a wastegate to reach it's target boost level.
Superchargers all suffer less than an NA application, but I'm sure there is some variance between the units. There's still a lower barometric pressure, so boost pressure will still be lower across the board.

You can have my poutine when you pry it from my cold dead fingers. That stuff is tough to come by. 1MOREMOD had to smuggle it in from Mehico in his man cave
