I know people who have done both... The turbo kits I have seen for hondas have all been huge failures, save one; your average tinker and many speed shops will blow that one. They can be set up properly, but it doesnt happen often. Now, I am not sure about the particular VW engine you are working with, (i.e. 1.8 n/a, or was it a 2L?) It might be really easy to drop a turbo as factory makes one. I have met someone with a supercharged VR6, but apparently it took him quite a bit of time and $ to make it go. He also wasnt very excited about it, so I dont think it was real succesful. I would probably lean to the supercharger for simplicity.
