What's a better form of forced induction?
(A). Turbo or (B). Supercharger, if I want a consistant boost and just want about an extra 100 or so horsepower?

The both have their advantages. My votes on turbo, but I'm sure you can get a supercharger to serve the same purpose. I've just had an easier time finding info about turbo's though

I would say in general on a Honda you are going to be better off with a turbo. Superchagers don't get you very good gains as far as I am concerned. My roommate has a Greddy 18G kit he runs about 8-9lbs on a JDM B16 and he puts down the same HP that one of our friends puts down on a USDM B16 with a JRSC running 14lbs.
Another plus with a turbo just get a turbo timer to up the boost. With a Supercharger you have to change the pullies if you want to up the boost.
However you will never over boost with a supercharger.
My vote is turbo but do some research and see what will work best for you.
