I'd definitely go with the turbo!!! I'm not a fan of superchargers on civics..at least sohc civics. Supercharging a D16 isn't that wise (i don't think), because a supercharger is belt-driven and needs a bigger motor to get that force moving. Turbo's make more efficient power on a smaller displacement engine. A supercharger is going to tax a four cylinder engine a lot. Get the turbo...add some low compression pistons and u'll get more hp out of it. Just my .02.
