2000Si, you shouldn't need any more proof than this. Damn near everyone who's ever put a supercharger on their Honda has sold it in favor of a more efficient turbo set up. If actions really do speak louder than words, those actions should be thunderous on a biblical scale. You also seem to competely overlook the mid-priced turbo parts. You don't have to buy the most or least expensive of anything, there are price points inbetween. Stop being so afraid of your car and just work on it. If you want to add any kind of performance to it, you're either going to have to learn how to do your own work or spend a mint on labor for someone else to do it for you.

Of those two people, I remember one of them getting rid of his SC for a turbo. But I could be mistaken.
I was actually looking at a JRSC for my Z6 build, I'm only looking for 200whp at most. A turbo is just a more efficient way for me to get there, for right around the same price. You should be able to piece together your own kit out of new products for around $2k. Check out Full-Race.com for turbo prices, JohnnyRaceCar.com for an intercooler, and get your piping from the parts store.
Here's an example:
T3/T04E from Full-Race = $619, capable of 490whp and the cheapest
Manifold from Full-Race = $450 with a/c
Bulk piping from parts store = ~$100
Johnny Race Car IC = $155-185 shipped, capable of 350whp
Tial BOV from Full-Race = $239
Misc. welding = ~$50-100
That's just about $1700. Piece it together and it won't seen that bad.

haha I was refering to Steve and Prowler (I keep forgetting his real name). Anyway, Steve sold the SC because people kept trying to race him or something like that, and Prowler still has his.
Like I said before... I'm not interested, don't have the time, and I have no desire to shop one piece at a time. I don't need or want a turbo that is capable of 490 hp. I want something that IS going to limit me so I don't get boost hungry on a stock internal engine.
But, is that all you're going to want after you build your motor?
I'm not saying that you won't be happy with a supercharger. I'm just saying that most people don't seem to be happy with them for long. That was one of the biggest factors in my choice. The other factor was room to grow as my wants/needs change. It's going to cost a little more, but I'm going with the Edelbrock kit (Cali CARB legal) over a JRSC for those reasons.

The JRSC on a B16 is actually a very nice setup. The power comes on very smoothly, and it pulls pretty well- even if it's not crazy power like in a turbocharged powerplant. If you're happy with the power that a JRSC setup puts down, then by all means go for it. It's still a very potent combination. I've been in a 99 JRSC Si, and it was really nice.
