Questions for compressor or turbo kit or 20b

Hey. I'm thinking about putting a turbo kit or supercharger kit on my Rx8, and I have doubts about which system is better, which is a balance between acquisition of power and reliability, and wanted me to comment on that power people often give and sensations. Also I'm considering making a 20b, but in Spain I have many limitations to homologate the car, etc.. so maybe is the last option. Greetings.

That's pretty serious **** in europe... Car impounding aside you basically run it against the law, meaning that the insurance doesn't cover you. If you're laughing at the term... spanish and italian both come from latin and that would be just a bad translation

Turbo has been done before so it is best to stick to the tried an tested method of boosting a 20B.

I love my supercharged renesis however, being the first to have a kit is always a pain and almost a year later it is is not perfect and I have come to live with less than factory perfect.
