Turbo or supercharger

I'm thinking of either supercharger or turbocharger.

ATM for supercharger i'm think vortech because specs wise it looks the best of what i have seen.

I haven't done much research on Turbo kits.

I have 00 Civic SI........

Anyone with information what i should get? what would be better?

if your going supercharger, vortech is the way to go. im more of a fan of turbos because they're more adjustable (amount of boost), and have a higher capability.

well it depends on how much you are willing to spend, trust e on that one.
but turbo will be cool im sure you ask anybody that boosts, they love it but its really high maintanence i think you will get better results from turbo.
superchargers are cool to have too , less maintanence but you wont get that boost when you need it, you will have it when its not a good time like a take off you will burn out for hours.
they both have advantages and disadvantages so do some serious home work
and remember you get what you pay for so this isnt one of those things too be cheap about
