you should read the forced induction forum... i just posted a few long rants over there that would help you... if i were a moderator, i'd move this over there, but as is i can just point you in the right direction.

spiro81: it also depends on what you REALLY want to do. Do you drag race, autox, or just regular street driving?

in simple terms, if you want top speed for drag racing, a turbo is the way to go. if you want power through the twisties without waiting for your turbo to spool (exhaust gas is required to spin your turbo's compressor), then supercharge.

if you get a small turbo it'll be on almost all the time so it's as good as a SC.
i'm using a tdh04 greddy on my civic which is kinda small and it spools really fast. the best thing with the turbo that it'll keep on pulling untill redline.SCs are better for mid range rpm only.
with a Level 10 3200 stall converter you'll have full boost in no time.
