Superchargers aren't really matched that well on high reving FWD cars like our hondas.

i think that too though i've seen runing some Integras with S/C very good and fast! i prefer TC but it's just doubt about that because i look severals guyds saying that S/C is better than TC because it hasnt turbolag

A good turbo setup will smoke a supercharger setup anyday. Superchargers are expensive and they don't put down much power at all. The powerband on our hondas are from 4-5k all the way to redline, so worrying about low end power or turbo lag shouldn't even matter. When I'm racing on the street I launch at 4,000rpms and never drop below that when shifting, so the low end power a S/C would give you won't ever come into play.

If you properly set up your turbo there would be zero to no lag.

What the hell are you taking about? There is always going to be lag.

turbos are better, superchargers take horespower to make horsepower, turbo on the other hand is free horserpower.
