Default B18C1 Turbo or Supercharger?

I haven't gotten it yet, but when i do, oh when i do get the B18C1, should i go super charger or turbo. Keep in mind that i'm not trying to go crazy street racer or dragster. I want the torque (i love torque), but i also want the power there as well.

Betsie will get a new motor in the future and she is going to be my daily driver until later. I want her to feel drivable so that my g/f and ne one else who needs to drive her can do it, but i want her to have that pickup of atleast of a v6 you know (i have been driving HF style for since before i got my liscense). My mom's RX-8 makes me jealous cause that thing can fly even when starting in 3rd gear.

I am going to do n/a at first, but once i get another beater, i want her to beable to hold her own and maybe a FI accessory will help that.

Depends on the turbo size. You can get the powerband of a supercharger with a small turbo.

Really schmoo? How so (how many psi and would i still need to do the intercooler setup and stuff)? I like the instant power of the S/C without the in dept piping.
