Default Turbo Charger or Super Charger on a 6th Gen Accord

Im planning to buy a 6th Gen Accord v6 coupe manual transmition, and planning to supe up performance. I read some articles about super chargers(Power over time 48hp at wheels) and turbo charges (power at higher rpm 48hp at wheel). Both have good ups and downs, currently I want to go with the super charger vs the turbo since it doesnt get that hot and it gets me off the starting point faster then a super charger, so figuring I can just add some nos if needed to get that boost at the end. So question really is, What would be a better choice for a 6th Gen v6 Accord coupe, Supercharger or TurboCharger.

Thanks

Are u talking about a 97-2001 accord v6, because they don't come with manual transmission
I know hks had a good turbo kit for that engine and it made good power but the slushbox automatic could not handle the power

You could check vortec or jackson racing for a super charger but that auto tranny will be the weak link

If you need more mid to low end power and need a good street car. Then the super-charger will do it for ya. The turbo will give you high end power but you have a auto so i don't know if you can rev your motor high for a long time. So I would go with the blower a lot more fun for a street car and you will have a lot of TQ.

I saw some 98' v6 accords on ebay with manual transmition, maybe the seller screwed up..?

Oh well. Thanks guys for the input.

They could've swapped out the original auto tranny with a manual CL tranny.
