a turbo will be able to put out more power than a SC at the high end of tuning because a turbo isn't limited by a pulley. a turbo is also more efficient than a supercharger because the SC uses power to make power.
that being said, if you want some ridiculous HP #, turbo is the only choice. if you want to make around 220-240 whp with less headaches, a SC is the better choice.
both will require more than just "installing the kit" and require large amounts of money and time to tune and run and maintain (dyno time is $$$, AEM EMS or OBDII workaround p72 hondata is $$$, rebuilding the internals = $$$). it's cheaper in many instances to simply buy a fast turbo car and modify it as opposed to trying to boost a honda.

Cause i am noticing not to many people get alotta HP outta turbos
you must be hanging out with the blown engine gang. i know of at least 3 or 4 guys that are making 325whp or more on turbo setups, the highest i know of being a 4th gen h23 pushing 423 whp. are they reliable or daily drivable? prob not. but that's the price you pay.
