Neither is better, both have advantages and disadvantages.

What's your goal?
Also did you fix your car yet?

RxEric

Well i know the rx8 is known for its high end power so i was debating on picking up a pro charge super charger to give it that low end kick off the line since its so strong high end already but i dont know if i want that bumble bee buzz from the supercharger to follow me every where i drive lol but i also am debating on just going with the turbo option and just whistle my way to the finish line with the high end flow and possibly going twin turbo like the rew and using turbo 1 until 4,500 rpm and turbo 2 to pick up where number one left off and add additional boost to my pull

RxEric

And i put that on pause on the fixing the car for now cause i dont have money for any additional tests parts or fixes so as of now im just kinda planning the build before it happens

RxEric

Yes but much of a power boost does the supercharger really give to the low end compared to the high end boost a turbo could add ? Does that question make sense?

That depends on the tune, the engine build, and other engine mods.

RxEric

Ok well lets just say were tuning the 13B whats your opinion supercharger or make it RE or REW with turbo(s) ?

My opinion.....

Turbo. With Renesis stay about 300 HP or you will have issues.

If you want more then go REW
Then you have to figure out ECU, trigger setups, throttle?, oil system, fuel Etc Etc Etc.... If you need to ask a lot of simple questions then don't start

None of the options are cheap....a REW swap is going to be a lot of work....or expect to pay $15K+ ish to have someone else do it.

Yea i dont plan on starting anytime soon just wanted to get my facts straight before making any rash decisions like you said its pretty expensive

I like that haha

^^ hahaha!
Turbo Renny seems to be the most well-sorted and well supported solution; but be prepared with about $15k to do it right.
If you wanna go fast, sell the 8 and buy a C5 Corvette. It is much faster, very reliable, becoming cheap, and has incredible aftermarket support. It lacks the finesse, and especially the fine steering of the 8. If my Vette had good steering I'd still be in it.
