Default 91 CRX Si: Turbo or Supercharge

I have a 91 CRX Si and for those of you that probably know more, what would be better for speed and HP, getting my car supercharged or putting a turbo in it?

How much HP does it give you because right now I am looking at getting a B18C5 motor which runs 230 HP.

If it is a stock B18c5 then it does not make 230hp. It makes around 197

b series then turbo b16 is a good choice but for balls out you would want a b18

Do your engine swap first.

Just remember if you choose to boost a engine like the b16. you can only run low boost setup, unless you change to lower compression pistons.

B16 will be plenty to get you started in my opinion,
I am going with Rev Hard stage 2 turbo, and will build low compression block after I blow this one up.

1988 CRX HF (slightly stripped)
B16 engine swap
Aem intake
Tanabe exhaust
stock exhaust manifold
13.9 99 mph
