Some questions about force induction

I'm currently holding a SECOND rx8, looking for more power, is it better to have a turbo or a supercharger?

The fact that you're asking this question means that you haven't done enough research.

How much power added? How do you want that power delivered? How much work do you want to have to do? How easy/difficult it is to tune?

By their very natures, turbos can make more power than supers but generate more heat, are more complicated and are more difficult to tune. Supers are also more linear in their delivery of additional power.

I am not even sure if there is anything on the market that is designed for the S2. There just isn't a market for it.
