you should just buy a civic after that question.
ok ok so that wasn't a nice reply, do you know how each works? I have found that a lot of people who ask questions like this don't really know the mechanism that makes these things spin.
Cutlr, you are going to have to provide proof of this because unless it was in the "born 2 b stoopid" I think you mis-read the article.

not sure how they went about making it work but yeah, its a RB26DETT with a supercharger on the side.
the best way to do this kind of setup actually would be using a dual aftercooler setup and have an electric clutch on the s/c (like the clutch used on your a/c pump). have the electric clutch shut off around the time the turbo is fully spooled. if you did a setup like this you could actually run some really high power since you could theoretically run a huge turbo and not worry about lag. if you got a big, high horse power turbo that didn't spool to say 4000 rpm or so you could have the s/c shut off around that rpm.
for the aftercooling it would be best to run two aftercooler. one for the s/c and one for the turbo. why? because if you were running one aftercooler and the s/c and t/c were on the same piping system the s/c would be blowing air into the turbo compressor (very very bad, its like running a t/c with no bov) and when the s/c shut off the turbo would be blowing air into the s/c. both ways you'd have some pressure loss and the huge possibility of damaging one of the components.
now that i think of it you'd almost have to have some sort of valve set up to close of and open up the different tubes because even with a dual aftercooler setup the pipes have to join somewhere and air will travel back to the turbo or s/c depending which is on. so, this would add to the cost because you would need an electronic valve system to change which pipes are flowing. the one that comes to my mind is the noweeds system which costs $419.00 http://www.noweeds.net/main.php3?primNavIndex=1&
after everything is done you'd be looking at a huge price tag which i would guess could easily reach over 6,000-7,000 dollars with the stuff you'll need. i would just stick with a turbo myself. a t3/t4 or t3/60-1 will spool quite nicely on these engines, if properly sized of course.
alright... i'm done now

Stoopid who lives in Houston, he works for the Quaker all motor civic. Some other *** asked another stupid question like this. He said it is too hard to tune but the hardest part is finding a supercharger and turbo that spin that the same rate.

you can install both for kicks and be all show no go. Why on earth would you want to do that? You should buy a turbo kit and and tune the car and built the internals. The turbo kit alone will give you all the power you will ever need, trust me on that one. After you get a turbo kit you can **** can the SCer idea. I dont see it happening in no way or form. You may damage the compressors. At least for the turbo because the vortech is always blowing hard even at idle. Buy a SCer or Turbo kit, I highly doubt youd want to get all this stuff under the hood. It just wont fit, the piping wont.
