I typically go all N/A before even thinking to super/turbo charge...get an intake, exhaust, header, throttle body, flywheel, clutch, reflash and suspension mods before thinking about going F/I.

lol our price per hp is way better than a 5K supercharger kit from vortech lmfao....so basically its a fan that helps your intake suck in more air....haha and because your putting more air into your cylinders your getting better gas mileage?!? hmm

It sounds like you need to do A LOT more research. You need to first:

- Understand the basics of how an engine actually works (pistons, compression, ignition, cam timing, etc)
- Understand the different methods of forced induction (turbo vs supercharger, and what the advantages & disadvantages are)
- Basic knowledge of tuning (manipulating fuel/ignition maps for FI - added fuel, retarding the ignition)
- Obtain large amounts of money

THEN you can proceed with making your choice, following through, and feeling good about all the neat stuff you just learned/accomplished.

Either root should be fine as long you don't put a cheap turbo or super on it. Its going to cost you ALOT though. I would go I/H/E/ECU/Flywheel/Clutch then I would get a Comptech Supercharger, upgraded fuel system, appropriate intercooler, Comptech ECU...maybe. At that point in time I would technically own a 30Kish civic...hmmm
