Default Supercharged or Turbocharged

I need help on deciding on either getting a comptech supercharger or a greddy turbocharger for my 2006 Civic Si. Which is the best to get more torch first and then horsepower?

They're both quality products.

s/c for sure. Less heat. less parts. less problems. More reliable. easier to install and maintain. Cheaper.

Having three turbo Civics all driven hard and none ever having any problems, I'm going to have to strongly disagree.

This has been discussed on this forum soooooooo many times.

It always comes down to this:

Daily driver- S/C

Second car- Turbo

No doubt... I've replaced more than one OEM turbo on different cars over the years, but never an OEM supercharger. By nature they have more longevity built in. I do love a turbo, but you've got it right up there. S/C for the daily grind

wiring of the emange? if that's what their having problems with they need to stay away from boost.

im gonna say turbo all the way. more tunability and more upgradable. speaking from experience....maintenece is not a problem.....that's the fun in it.

and i'd have to agree with exhaust note.....you wont get either setup.

i find that people who ask these questions are only "toying" with the idea and are reluctant to jump into a big project like that due to fear of the unknown.
