So true.
You have to ask yourself if your going to go FI (Forced Induction) for proper gains or your going to spend twice as much for a stroked NA motor.
IMO on NA cars like this your better off not hoping for big power, your better going for experinace and the fun of it all.

YHPM.

or would you have to replace these things even if you get the supercharger because that is what i really want?

You need most of what you would already have, as in a full exhaust system, race mani, K-pro and induction of some sort.
S/C kit is like 3K alone!!

dude i know your new and i appreciate your getting excited about your new type r.
but use the FVCKING search button.
Read through as many different topics as you can (including looking after the civic etc), look at peoples dyno charts, look at what peoples opinions are on certain mods etc, read what you need to buy, read what to buy if your on a budget, read about what you need if you want to buy a supercharger, read what cost implications youll have including insurance and a limited slip, read and then gauge if you can really afford it, read and then gauge if thats what you really want.
Dont just start asking lots of questions, we are not your personal fact finding bitches, do some of the work on your own. Youve done this a few times now.
Look i genuinely would like to see you go and get your civic charged, but just because youve seen one on a forum somewhere or on youtube doesnt mean that a lot and i mean a lot of time, effort, patience and cold hard cash hasnt gone into it. Im not implying you cant afford it, but i am suggesting you brush up on your knowledge of the car itself before thinking your ready to charge. Im doing the same thing and i have a quite a modified car. Im nowhere near ready to charge in terms of knowledge, so i come on, ask relevant questions to people in the know if i need them but most of all i READ.
**edit:
I mean mate, "is an induction kit really worth it?" then saying you want to charge:evil:
p.s. actually getting on quite well with the missus

That would have sounded all the more impressive if your avitar wasn't blackadder with pencils up his nose and pants on his head... (I think)
Sometimes I just can't take you seriously, no offence!! :lol:
Good point well made though, search is your friend.
