FINANCIALLY IN THE LAND OF OZ SUPERCHARGING IS WAY LESS EXSPENSIVE THEN TURBOING IF YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP STOCK INTERNALS. SAFE PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 7PSI IF YOU LOVE YOUR PISTONS AND MOST TURBO OWNERS YOU WILL FIND, ALWAYS START PUMPING IN ALITTLE BIT MORE UNTIL BANG! ITS ALL OVER. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WITH THE SUPERCHARGER IS TO BE CHANGING PULLEYS BUT THIS WONT HAPPEN.
SO FOR PRICE AND POWER GO SUPERCHARGER AND TO THE TOSS WHO KEEPS REPEATING SUPERCHARGERS REV HIGHER TO MAKE MORE BOOST, SHUTUP OR TALK TO A FENCE.

First of, you're definitely wrong. You'd have to change the internals on the supercharger just to compare boost with a turbo kit using a $50 manual boost controller. And, you didn't specify which powerplant can only handle 7psi. Yes, that's true in a weak engine, but the newer Civic's can handle 9psi with an intercooler and not internal mods. FMAX puts this kit out. I run a Greddy 15G which is smaller (and spools faster) at 8psi WITHOUT an intercooler.
Also, supercharging is not as efficient as turbocharging. Fact is superchargers are belt-driven. Any extra load on the engine will consume more gas. Where the turbo is driven off of already existing exhaust pressure, you actually get better gas mileage because the engine doesn't have to strain anymore.
Also, were you going to tell everyone that when the supercharger gets hot it's harder to turn over or even start the damn thing without a big ass battery?? Check out some of the pics of the battery on the F-150 Lightning.
Anywho, I believe these posts are for posting the pro's and con's of each system, not trying to sell a kit off to someone, but letting them make their choice based on YOUR experiences. Just be truthful.
