I prefer super chargers, no turbo lag, but for some cars a turbo are cheaper and/or give more power. Find approximations for both power and price and then make your decision.

definitely a turbo this way you will have a more constant power with a supercharger you only have better acceleration but a turbo will help at high speeds as well where a supercharger will not give you much power at high speeds.

To be honest 4 the price you’re gonna spend on either u could prob sell up and get a Type R. Turbo add on to a NA car will prob only push 15-30 bhp :-S The NA engine cant hold alot of pressure. As for superchargers ive never poked my finger in that pie
So i say neither & get a VTEC/Type R

General rule: “turbo charge lag”, “supercharge drag”. Belt driven superchargers give better overall performance,good acceleration at low end, but the belt drive takes some power away at higher speeds.
Turbo charger has bottom end lag as it needs exhaust to perform.
My opinion, superchargers are far and away the best of the two.
