well, i believe that there is no supercharger made for our cars. IMO i think that a supercharger is better b/c u have constant power. A turbo has "lag" which is waiting for the turbo to spool up b/n shifts. Plus a turbo runs off of exhaust gases and tends to run hot and they don't last as long as a supercharger. Turbo life can be prolonged by using a turbo timer, but they still won't last as long as a supercharger.

No superchargers out for the civics, only turbo. Supercharger gives continuous power, while turbo doesn't.

GET the SF turbo kit if you go the turbo route.

I personally like superchangers better because of the on tap power and they are easier to take care of....but one thing about superchangers u can't run high PSI....so if u don't plan to run 20 psi or something....i'd say go for the superchanger if they ever come out with one for our vic's or better yet u should get a custom install

I think you need to read up before you even go near a turbo...If you dont know what your doing your going to be wasting a lot of cash...
