you funny funny man :)

what i meant by no is simply no. supercharger costs more than a turbo and can not produce the same amount of hp gains as a turbo can. basically if youre going to boost a fwd civic do a turbo.

ps. most b series swaps cost more than if you can piece together a turbo kit.

Do NOT supercharge your y8, just turbocharge it. You will love it...just get it tuned properly!
