Supercharge or get a turbo engine

I don't know which would be better or cheaper. I have a non turbo 86' rx-7 and I want to go faster! I found this one company that makes a supercharger for the rotary. But I could also probably just get a new turbo engine too. Which one is better and or cheaper?

coverting a non-turbo 7 to a turbo 7 is very hard. It would be easier just to go out and buy a turbo II.

forced induction on a 6-port rotary, from what i have read has pretty good results though. Just keep in mind the car's value before you go dumping a bunch of money into it. Supercharger kits are not cheap.

You can do both as well. Use the low compression Turbo motor and forcefeed it with a paxton (or similar) supercharger.

The higher compression 6port NA motors handle 6-8PSI pretty decent. A mild port might help as well with a boosted NA motor.
