Default b16a2 Turbo or Supercharger?

Whitch would be better a supercharger or a turbo? I know with stock internals on the motor it would be only able to run 5-6 pounds of boost. Witch would produce more power with stock internals a supercharger or turbo?

i'd go with turbo to make more hp depending on the size of the turbo bigger turbos will make more power but have more lag smaller turbos will have less lag and will make less power superchagers are good because the powers always there and theres no lag it's up to you what are you gonna be doing daily driver track it depends and the same for the amount of boost

from my experience superchargers are more reliable, no lag, but not much power as turbo.

same money spent on both turbo will make more power. dont base things off a random psi number. hp breaks stuff not psi.

Say i went with turbo and wanted to run more boost. What internals would i have to replace to be able to do so? And if i went with a Supercharger would i have to replace anything in order to get more power?

same thing goes for both as far as putting out more power. the more you compress the air the hotter it gets and then you need to think about cooling it down. supercharging is nice for lower boost, turbo is good for highter boost. turbo doesnt take power to use it. super charger does and if you over drive the charger than it takes more and more power to run the charger. shit go with both a big turbo for top end and a supercharger for bottom and then when the turbo is spooled it will actualy make the charger not use any power because its forcing the rotors of the charger to spin and puts some spin on the belt.
