The ones I have read about are making similar sort of power to standard turbo set ups.

Best bet would be a RB20/25/26 swap.

Would be the cheaper route

I dunno much about supercharging the RB30 but everyone seems to be against it compared to turboing, but if you have the money, you can make anything I guess, you can even make an NA go hard if you're willing to factor in spending triple, or more, the cost of turboing it, but if money is not an issue, or you want to be different etc, then it's up to you I guess. I'm not sure what's compatible with what in terms of chargers but it has been done a few times, so yeah, give those a read and see how you go.
