Depends on what you want...
A turbo has way more potential, a supercharger moves up your whole curve and gives you instant torque. With a (roots) supercharger, you're limited to the 13's, which for some people is fine. It is more of a "plug and play" solution than a turbo setup. For all out power, a turbo is best, but it is a little more work to get it right.

I agree. If a little more power( 40%) is okay throughout the powerband, go with a supercharger. If you want a lot of power (100-500% 
)and a little bit of turbo lag, go with a turbo. The ultimate decision will come up to you, depending on what kind of driving you want to do.

gentlemen a supercharger can be boosted up guys. the bigger the pulley, the more the rotors turn, then making more power.

It's funny how many people replied to this without ever having maintained/owned a FI car.

If you are a drag racer, go turbo. If you are a street racer, go supercharger. Comon, if your at a stop light, are you going to race the guy till the end of the quarter mile? most of the street races, you go from 0-60 mph.

turbo you can crank up the boost with a boost controller, supercharger you are limited to the biggest crank pulley (CRV) or smaller charger pulley to raise boost.
But, remember too much power especially for the streets you will be spinning 17s all day.
